Our communist governor is in the midst of raising taxes and “fees” to attract business to Michigan. (How about a tax on bottled water to attract business?)
In response to her genuis leadership, unemployment shot up to 7.9% in July - the highest in the country. The state continues to post negative growth quarter after quarter. Businesses are fleeing, with some downtown districts looking like a movie set for a 1930’s depression film. Tourism in rural counties is dying. (She wants to tax - raise “fees” - fish you catch.) Motels are being converted to “apartments” in hope of attracting welfare clients whose rent is paid by government (taxpayers).
And young people moving out of this socialist paradise continues to be our primary export.
Liberals (communists) are idiots.
I thought you had a nice alternative to her in the last election, but she won.
Oh surely you lie my FRiend! My progressive-liberal brother assures me that this recession is nation wide. That mean old George Bush is playing with the numbers to make it LOOK like the economy is good! (Do I really need a SARC Tag here?)
Seriously; I told my brother to get the hell out of Michigan. He can operate heavy vehicles and from what I’ve seen/read/heard there’s a pretty good demand. But you can lead a Lib to Truth but you can’t make them think.
A colleague was down in Mississippi for a conference. He visited a friend in Louisiana who tried to hire him for some construction projects. The guy explained that in Louisiana a lot of the people won’t take jobs because their government hand outs would end.
Detroit - Same as New Orleans, except dryer.
