Author    Post   twotap F L I N T O I D I guess this is what she meant?????? Fifteen months ago, Michigan taxpayers and businesses were punished with $1.4 billion in new taxes -- the Michigan Business Tax, the 22 percent business tax surcharge and a higher state income tax. Since taxes went up, Michigan's unemployment rate has also increased -- it's now 10.6 percent, the worst in the nation. But the tax revenue keeps pouring in. Now we find out the state of Michigan is overcharging taxpayers. While families and workers are struggling to make ends meet, state government brought in an extra $712 million this past year on the heels of a $350 million surplus the year before. Just think: That $712 million surplus means Michigan created the most notorious business tax in the nation, gouged workers and job creators, and badly damaged our reputation with companies looking to expand or relocate, all for no reason _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

BUT - I MUST file a return every year, because I file a Federal return. If I don't, I'll be audited by the State. How much does it cost the state every year to process all the returns with no taxable income? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Can we really take anything anyone like this guy says as an intelligent point or discussion when the simple word "blown" isn't even in his vocabulary? Fri Jan 23, 2009 11:08 am  twotap F L I N T O I D That word "blowed" is in our state saving governors vocabulary check it out. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

I don't care whatever right wing piece of toilet paper you may have read that stated otherwise, but we all know what she said.
