Blaine,
You are quickly becoming one of my idols!
Nice! The SBT is one of the many reasons why business's don't want to come to Michigan, and the ones that are here are looking elsewhere.
High labor and the unions are the real reason. Even with the SBT, we only have the 10th highest business tax rate overall among states. Then you have the Granholm cronies pleading they want more money from business. Why would a business want to be in a state and have to pay more to operate.
She doesn't want MORE money, she wants the same amounts to replace the eroding manufacturing base. She does not want to cut more spending on programs to make up for the short comings.Then she bumps the Min Wage and now the small business's that are struggling will either go belly-up, cut their work-force, or MOVE OUT OF THE STATE.
I see the republican controlled House and Senate did a 180 and passed the legislation unanimously. You don't think a alterior motive drove that? Hmm..We not only need to get rid of Jenny, we need to get rid of Stabenow!
Yeah that johnny honest Spence Abraham was a real winner. Lying SOB. Funny how his views did a 180 after being named the the secretary for the Dept. of Energy by Bush
