1) not just GROANholm by Anonymous Citizen on October 2, 2007
Look at the vote - 100% of the DumboCRATS and 60% of the REPrehensibles voted for what she wanted - to suck Michiganders dry. Almost all of them have gone to the dark side, to kill the fruits of the labor of hardworking Michiganders.

Did you put blood, sweat and tears into your business? Too bad, so sad, GROANholm and her evil minions are glad.

2) Moving your business to another state? by Anonymous Citizen on October 2, 2007
Yes we all want to move our businesses to another state while Granholm is still in the governor's office, but she knows she has some of us by the short hairs. If we have any kind of money tied up in real estate here, we can't unload it for anything like what it should be valued for, not to mention our property values on our homes and those of employees who would also be forced to sell at a loss because no one wants to move to Michigan while the brainless blonde twit is still in Lansing. Hmmmm I feel a blonde joke coming on, but I can't laugh through my tears of watching all we have worked for slowly going down the drain the last 5 years. Guess the joke is on Michigan citizens.

3) That's right. Continue to kill the economy with more taxes by Anonymous Citizen on October 1, 2007
You legislatures really need to pack it up. You know so little about "GROWING THE ECONOMY." Any one with half a brain knows that it makes more sense to entice business, with incentives, to stay or move to Michigan, than to constantly dip your hands into the few pockets left in this state. In case you're that stupid: Incentives are what you offer people to encourage a desired action-- not what you take away from people. Get the "CLUB" out of your hands you archaic bunch of cavemen because you can't get blood from a stone.

And one other important point: There are 49 other states with the potentional to entice my business to move and they're not all taxing their citizens to death.

It's time you legislatures make the same sacrifices your Constituents have made by being downsized.
