Michigan Freedom To Work

Samuel Adams — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 21:14:04 GMT

The time is NOW for legislation granting ALL Michigan workers the FREEDOM to not join a union, or be required to give money to a union as condition of employment. If a minority of Republican's in the House or Senate block or defeat a worker Freedom Bill, those law makers will pay with their seats.

Syed Taj - Congress

TaterSalad — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 01:09:24 GMT

No to Syed Taj because of this: Does he support Benghazi-Gate to be kept quiet like Obama? http://www.youtube**.*com/watch?v=x5CgJbdzuRE&feature=player_embedded

Ballot Proposals

Mike Hignite — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:23:49 GMT

Yes on Proposal 5. No on the rest.

#1 Reinstate emergency manager law. Don't really care

#2 Make public unions unaccountable to legislature. No.

#3 Mandate green energy usage, and raise rates. No. This doesn't belong in the Constitution. If you like it, make it a statute.

#4 Mandatory home care unions. No. No. Hell no.

#5 2/3 majority on tax increases. Sounds good to me. If it is really necessary, it will get the votes. If it is a boon-doggle it won't.

#6 Bridge vote. Don't care either way

Dump Stabenow & then Levin

TaterSalad — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 15:07:53 GMT

It has now come the time for Michiganders to rid the state of Obamacare supporters, class warfare supporters, abortion supporters and same sex supporters. The two that come to mind are Senators are Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin. Senator Carl Levin has now jumped into the snake pit like the rest of the Democratic Party and has been spreading lies and innuendos about the challenger to Barack Obama. For this, he should resign. http://www.breitbart**.*com/Breitbart-TV/2012/09/07/Sen-Levin-Now-Spreading-Unsourced-Romney-Retirement-Fund-Rumors-To-Force-Tax-Return-Release

why should we believe what the left says?

crazycajun — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:38:30 GMT

those on the left say that 'more government' is the answer to our problems.

our governor has increased the amount of government in michigan steadily, increasing intrusion, increasing taxes, and increasing obstruction to businesses.

now we are asked to believe that throwing money at our economy, paying particular attention to leftist projects, is going to stimulate our economy.

these things haven't worked yet. history tells us that, IF you take the time to really look at it, and NOT take the word of those on the left.

so, please tell us why we should believe that our governor, who has done nothing for almost two terms will get on the stick and raise us out of this mess in the next few months?

please tell us how the failure to accomplish the job up till now should be giving us ANY confidence that the job will be done in a relative heartbeat?

Debbie Stabenow to be defeated in November

TaterSalad — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 01:56:29 GMT

Senator Debbie Stabenow will be defeated in November 2012 and placed in the unemployment lines.

Where are the jobs?

nobsartist — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 17:13:22 GMT

I see there are many, many new bills being introduced but I see NOTHING that creates new jobs. I lay this on the RepubliCONS. You people are liars. I am sure that most of you have NEVER had a job in your life that required effort. John Enger is the head of the " National Manufacturers Association", yet I will bet that he has never spent ONE DAY, or 8 hours for you Union people, working in a "Manufacturing" environment. Where is Engler and all of those manufacturing jobs? In fact, where has fat johnny and his BS group been since the jobs started evaporating in 2001? On a diet?

Lets take our government back from the hogs feeding at the tough of the taxpayer. Lets force Ford, GM and Chrysler to start paying taxes. Lets force our State to take the bloated salaries of the economy breakers and exact a "Wind fall profits tax" on the 330 MILLION DALLAR SALARY of Alan Mullaly. Lets put a "windfall profits tax" on the 3 loosers appointed to run GM using taxpayer money to pay half wits appointed to run GM.

Lets force our state government to reign in the multi-million dollar salaries for FOOTBALL COACHES and UNIVERCITY PRESIDENTS. Lets tell them that if they are going to pay bloated salaries, it will not be supprted by taxpayer dollars. Lets force our schools to teach instead of make money. Lets demand that the Federal Government take over ALL education, eliminating the bloated salaries and entitlement of school administrators.

Lets demand that our state tax ALL corporations and CHURCHES equally. No more tax fee status for churches. After all, there is NOTHING in the Constitution that allows churches to enjoy a tax free status while enjoying immunity from sexual perversions.

Lets force our government to tax every gallon or pound of raw material taken from Michigan soil. Lets put a "windfall profits tax" on ALL investment firms in Michigan taking advantage of the dissadvantaged like Benton Harbor. Those investors backed by snyder are converting public property to private property. Lets take that property back.

Lets make those raping our land pay for it. There is no reason why we cannot have a state that works for us, after all we OWN IT. Lets demand natural gas prices be market driven. Since we sit on one of the largest pools of natural gas on earth, why do we have to pay a "pipeline fee" to have it pumped down to Texas and back. The operators of that natural gas pool should be paying us for OUR gas. Lets force GM, Ford and Chrysler to pay taxes like we workers. I demand a "windfall profits tax" be levied on Ford, GM and Chrysler since thru back handed dealing, they do not have to pay ANY tax on profits for the next NINE YEARS.

I want a deal just like the corporations. In fact, I want to know when our government is going to work for us instead of the looters.

This applies to BOTH parties. After all, they are both the same. After all, jenny and the others did nothing either while our economy died, jenny made sure that she had "appointments" lined up like on the board of Dow, another corporate rapist.

Meanwhile, lets get snyder and his gang out of here.

It is time to fix our government.

Tax cuts=Wealth re-distribution

TrueBlue — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:27:56 GMT

If you are a wage earner then the GOP are redistributing your hard earned money to the wealthy.

This is because only the SS payroll tax payers are paying a SURPLUS of tax revenue. SS payroll taxes are collected ONLY on wages under $100,000.00. Republican INCOME tax cuts take the payroll tax surplus collected from wage earners under $100,000.00 and REDISTRIBUTES 90% of it to incomes over $100,000.00 and to Capital Gains. Millionaires who paid not one penny into the payroll tax surplus!
Please explain how an income tax cut does not redistribute the payroll tax surplus!

Wealth Re-distribution Republican style.

Why don't the Republican's running for their parties nomination mention the last Republican President?

gypsy — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:25:29 GMT

Because it was eight years of failed republican policies, and illegal war.

Are Socialists Deciding Close State House Races?

micapcon — Fri, 01 May 2009 00:36:11 GMT

The March/April 2009 Michigan Capitol Confidential carries a story about a program by the Greater Detroit Democratic Socialists of America to help candidates who line up with their values win closely contested races for the Michigan Legislature. Using organized door-to-door canvassing, fundraisers and other forms of aid, the group claims credit for getting four new Democratic lawmakers over the finish line. Those lawmakers are: Rep. Sarah Roberts, D - St. Clair Shores; Rep. Vickie Barnett, D - Farmington Hills; Rep. Jon Switalski, D - Warren; and Rep. Llisa Brown, D - West Bloomfield.

What do you think?

GUN CONTROL: a matter of trust

crazycajun — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:48:13 GMT

why doesn't the left TRUST the citizens?

why does the left try to convince people that not being armed will make you SAFER?

if being disarmed will make you safer, why is the murder rate highest where gun laws are strictest?

why is there never a cop around when you need one, but always one around when you don't?

i'm interested to hear the opinions of the leftists here, they provide so much humor to the day.

Why Should Citizens Allow Our Elected Officials To Play the Politrix Game?

MrRights2BHeard — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:39:44 GMT

Right from the beginning I must explain to everyone what Politrixs is, and how the general public is being played by their own elected officials. I am the Vice Chairperson of a Citizens group called Citizens Against Corrupted Politicians, and we are against how people who we have elected into a government office position have turned on us, and we do believe in our constitutional rights " For the people, By the people, and With the people ", meaning we are the government lets take back our Government. Both politicial parties have losted focus on their primary purpose, including the citizens who have losted interest in our Government operations. I am also a Independent/Grassroot political party member that do believe that we should return back to our basic government operations. I am sure that a bunch of you was caught up in the Obama/McCain campaign this past election. I am also sure that many of you was mud throwers for your party, and I thought that it was insane how everyone was biting at each other to prove their point. Here is a deep inside look at how the game of Politrixs is working. Ask yourself why can't my state legislative bodies (Senation & House) seem to have their own personal agenda. Here in Michigan our legislation should have passed a bill banned cellphone use while driving on our Streets, Freeways, and Highways. No that's to much like right for many of them, due to the fact that most law makers are on their cellphones while driving, and just as soon as one of their family members are killed in a automobile accident that was caused by a drive who was on a cellphone they will push things to make it a law (That's Politrixs). Its time to wakeup by starting recalls and impeachnents.

Vouchers- Another Republican Scam.

TrueBlue — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:07:09 GMT

The republican school voucher system is a scam and only an indirect tax cut for the rich !!

HERES how it works.............

The rich guys kid is ALREADY in private school ...... so......he gets a VOUCHER.

The regular working guy CANT afford to pay $10,000 for private school for each of his kids, he CANT write a check !!!
And so will not be able to use his "Voucher".

So at the end of the year, the rich guy gets to use his "VOUCHER" and he gets all the money he spent on private school reimbursed to him.

BUT where is it "reimbursed" from ?? The public school.

SO the regular guys kid is STUCK at the public school BUT now its even worse cuz they have even LESS money for the the public school system.

Wealth Redistribution Republican style !
