FreeSpeaker:
Why the aversion to seriously discussing the fairest kind of tax, a graduated income tax?

Because those with the highest incomes have the most influence in our government.

Instead, we get cockamamie proposals like this, to extend the regressive sales tax, which impacts most heavily and so, most unfairly, on those Michiganders at the lower ends of the economic and income scale.

This tax was trying in Florida years ago and was a complete disaster to administrate and operate. I see no improvement. Why are you exempting business-to-business transactions? Semi-wholesale exemption idea? Pseudo-VAT approach? Too confused to understand what you are doing to the economy?

Haven't you people done enough damage to this state with all of your tax increases?

Not to be out done by the IRS the state is now giving out duplicate Earned Income Credits and Home Energy credits at the same time your cutting back on Medicaid and K -12 ?

You people really just don't know what the hell you're doing.

With a 14% unemployment rate you still think that the residents can afford to pay even more sales taxes while you give away credits to millionaires from Holywood?

Bad enough you've chased all the business away with the MBT, now you're going to make sure no one wants to live here anymore.

Keep it up and your state population will drop like a stone!

What are you trying to do, beat out California for the gold medal in stupidity?
