This war is an economic war and the sooner we work togeather to win that war the better chance our grandchildren will have for a future.I know we could win with a lot of imagination and a lot less money if we choose to do so.Michigan is not the only state with problems we just didn't pay attention to business in the automotive industry and now are paying the price.There is a bright future but we must have a can do attitude to accomplish it.I remember a quote a former coworker always said. (when all is said and done more is said than done) I wonder if when the majority of the citizens realize that we are in world war three.

Maybe you should actually read what's being said here before posting a comment that makes no sense to the issue. As far as business taxes go, I think that we need to look at it on a case by case scenario and what type of business we're dealing with. It's not fair that we bombard certain businesses with taxes, but pay no attention to those struggling small businesses. My uncle own's a franchise in St. Clair Shores and he's having great difficulty paying his bills even with the revenue he brings in being stable.

The problem with Michigan business taxes and the economy is that I think that our politicians are not following their oath of office to support the Michigan constitution. Why? I think the preamble says to "govern for the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Michigan". A later article says "have a balanced budget". Priority 1 then is to have business taxes that promote a growing economy. The MBT and business personal property taxes, sales tax on services business to business do not do that. Looking at the problem, I now like the Fair Tax. Does the Center for Michigan have a stand on the Fair Tax? Neil Karl Livonia, MI Missed Opportunities is good.
