2011 House Bill 4361: Replace MBT, raise income tax, trim credits (House Roll Call 87)
Amendment offered by Rep. Phil Cavanagh (D) on April 27, 2011, to retain the state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), rather than replacing it with a $25 per child payment to low income parents. The EITC is a refundable tax credit (or “reverse income tax”) that sends checks to low income workers. Under it, more than $300 million worth of Michigan tax revenue is redistributed annually to workers who have low incomes. The amendment failed 48 to 59 in the House on April 27, 2011.

1) Re: 2011 House Bill 4361 (Transform MBT into corporate income tax only ) by abbie on January 9, 2013It looks like our law makers have been pretty busy lately. I am actually intrigued to see that they are thinking about modify the taxing again and again until we won't be able to see their trick anymore. There's always a trick. The only way that could make me agree with paying higher taxes is if part of my taxes is distributed to charity, I learned about my options from John Studzinski.
We cannot raise income taxes at all here. I am not sure what they are thinking here. So many other options then this. I hope they go the other route here. f1 tours
Now that there is no single business tax, no michigan business tax, and now grocery stores do not have to mark their items; will we see grocery prices go down? I will be watching. Will businesses like II Stanley and Denso start hiring off the street instead of using temp agencies? Will we see wages go up? I do not see how taxes solve our problems. We need to make things in Michigan again. I've lost two jobs due to outsourcing. One was outsourced to Mexico and now this one to privatization. I'm not getting any younger and at my age do not wish to go into 20K debt to get another degree. I will be watching and I always turn out to VOTE!
