The more I learn about Michigan's new Governor Rick Snyder -- the more outraged I get about what he's trying to do to my old Home State.
First he gives away Billions in Business Tax Cuts:
Overall, businesses will see a reduction in their taxes of nearly $1.8 billion.
Next he makes major cuts to Education Budget to try to make up his new Budget shortfall, with ...
a cut of 15 percent to state university budgets, and proposes a four percent — or about $470 per pupil — cut in local K-12 spending.
But that doesn't raise enough 'Mad Money' for Snyder, so he decides to start a New Tax -- one on Seniors' Pension income:
That would all change under the governor's proposed budget. Henceforth, income from both public and private pensions, including IRAs and 401(k)s, would be subject to state income tax, though Social Security will remain untaxed.What 'Shared Sacrifice' means to Michigan's new Governor

Say Hello to Michigan's new "Grandma Tax"!
Tax the stuffing out of those greedy Seniors -- that will attract Business Back to Michigan!
Well if all that is NOT Outrageous enough -- Now the New Michigan Governor makes a mockery of Michigan Supreme Court rulings -- all TO STOP Michigan Citizens from:
any attempts to repeal his Grandma Tax with any citizen-based "voter referendums."
And all it cost him to stop the voters, was a $100 ... in printing fees ...
a SINGLE $100 BILL! ... to block Michiganders from their Rights.
Simply Incredible!
