Hey, get rid of this “gloom and dooom” thing. You don’t have to pay those taxes. Move. I moved to texas several years ago and it was a miracle for my business’ tax flow. And the regulatory burden in Texas is a fraction of that in Michigan.

I had hoped that (as bad as things are) in southeast Michigan (home of Big Three automakers) -that the voters there would opt to send Governor Granholm packing in the course of last November’s election. She’s made it clear that she has no understanding of economics. And is a one trick pony (raise dem taxes! Mo’ taxes gonna solve evah thang!)

The labor unions delivered the vote (once again) to the Dems, and the fate of this state was sealed. Ergo, the misery index will climb and climb….

On Liberal Quicksand (a Michigan blog), Dave Fourputt said, in this comment, that he e-mailed Governess Granholm and his

other local elected officials asking them how I am supposed to come up the extra cash to pay this this tax increase. I await their responsesâ€¦..

One of us suspects that Mr Fourputt ought not to hold his breath in awaiting that response.

Arkansas was mentioned. It has more public employees per capita short of Washington, D.C. It still taxes food to keep the trough filled.

I hope so too. Bush irritated the heck out of me when he threw his support to the “moderate” over the conservative, and wondering why Vilesack won. – Lorica

I didn’t like Vilsack, I don’t like Culver at all, he is an idiot, but the person I despise most of all is the moron who gave Iowa to the Democrats, Terry Braindead. His pop up pardons for his son due to his murderous behavior caused many people to vote against the Republican party. My hope is that Culver only gets 1 term and decent conservative becomes Iowa’s next governor. – Lorica

The Legislature agreed to raise Michigan’s income tax rate from 3.9 percent to 4.35 percent and expand the 6 percent sales tax to some services.

Here in NJ, we’d love to see the taxes rolled back to those levels. But I suspect Michigan will catch up to us rather than the other way around.

Lorica,

You don’t like Tom “S*itsack”? I know Culver thought he had a right to the seat as he couldn’t get elected as a US Rep. like his daddy.

I don’t want a new Charger. A Dodge Viper untouched by Mercedes-Benz engineers would be fine with me.

Man I would love it if Chrysler would come to Iowa. Mmmmm Mmmmmm A new Dodge Charger in my garage tomorrow!!! But with the last three idiots that have run Iowa, it is just a shadow of it’s former self. Thru their incapable abilities to run a state these guys have managed to loose thousands of jobs, so many that they lost a congressional representative. It is lunacy that their present Governor even got elected.

As far as Michigan’s woes. I can tell them a quick way to save some money. Stop running “how great Michigan” ads on the Rush Limbaugh show. Most conservatives wouldn’t even think about starting a business in MI.

Also, how can these people continue to take food out of the mouths of the children in middle class familes?? Why do their policies continue to starve our children?? It is amazing how fast they forget where a states funding comes from, until they start to run a tad low, then bada bing a whole new font of monies!! YAY!!! Lowlife pukes. – Lorica

Michigan, like New Orleans and Katrina, is a shining example of the result of liberal Democrat policies, government, and the culture of dependence. Between the Michigan government and the unions, the Big 3 car makers are doomed. If they are to survive at all, they have to move out to a right to work, Republican controlled state(s).
