 Why are we adding classifications? I thought we were suppose to be eliminating the business personal property tax??

 Now they want to tax us for trying to go off the grid, this is an infringment on our constitutional rights and I for one will do my best to get this thrown out. This Jud Gilbert must be a progressive, a true constitutionalist would not try to impose new tax on the average person like this. I will bring this up in the next local Tea Party Meeting and get a petition to get this removed.

In a state that is allegedly working to attract and keep businesses, this seems more like one more nail in the business coffin.  

If the people of the state of Michigan ever figure out that it's not really the business that pays taxes, rather it's people (i.e. workers with lower salaries, customers paying higher prices, or owners making little or no profit and closing or deciding not to expand--and hire--or a combination of these), then maybe they'll rebel, just a little, when legislators try to stick it to the businesses. 

Rethink this one, Jud.
