Scary 2

In today's Wall Street Journal, there was an editorial on Michigan's sad economy and the disastrous job that Jennifer Granholm has done. Her effort to shore up a $2 billion plus deficit in 2007, by raising taxes $1.4 billion, has once again created a deficit of $2.8 billion. And after saying "I'm not ever going to raise taxes again," she wants to raise taxes another $600 million. Excuse me? Lying seems to be so fashionable right now doesn't it? Democrat perfidy is the new black.

The most alarming aspect of the article was the statistic that Michigan now has 637,000 public employees and only 500,000 in manufacturing jobs. "Government is the largest employer in the state, but the number of taxpayers to support these government workers is shrinking." We here in Michigan have reached our tipping point. Note to lawmakers; Vote for a tax increase and you will be paying for it from home.
