Can you believe the liberal democrats think the public so stupid that we overwhelmingly spoke up in opposition to the immigrtion bill because we were duped by "Talk Radio"??? I for one am insulted and it shows just how out of touch the democratic party is with what the people really want in this country. The liberal Democrats (and frankly most politicians) march strictly to their party's agenda.
On the homefront, Michigan is in the midst of a one state recession and our state legislature is struggling with how to correct a deficit budget for next fiscal year. Of course an increase in revenue is one solution (that's the new name for a tax increase) along with cutting more expenses.
I just love how they are doing it though. They debate the merits of business and income taxes knowing that these will get alot of public attention and scrutiny. At the same time they have snuck in legislation aimed at taxing everything from telephone service to entertainment venues. Knowing this time that the media will turn a blind eye to these tactics. Watch out people; it will happen before you know it. When I look at my phone bill now and what I pay for entertainment tickets, there is already enough taxes and surcharges on everything. (See House Bill 4852 and/or check out http://www.notickettax.com/) Let's just leave it alone and deal with the real problems; our state government needs massive restructuring to make it more efficient and effective. Nuff said.
Locally, the weather is great here in Michigan and if you are not from here you should give it a try. You will find a great state with lot's of good people and a lot a fun things to do. You may never want to leave.
