I like the analogy of oxes and leeches. I hope people in the state and nation wake up soon, or we are all on our way to the fate of Detroit and Flint.

Thanks for stopping by!

whereas Texas provides very attractive labor costs and often gives large tax breaks to lure companies, realizing that decreasing unemployment lessens the burden on the state and increases tax revenue from sales and property taxes.

Yes, that’s the Republican solution, lie down for any stranger who gives you candy. Somehow I doubt the plants will move north from Mexico if you knock a few points off the income tax.

How BAD does it have to get in the Beautiful state of MICHIGAN before the hard working Democrats there realize their liberal tax and spend Democrat leaders in the state and the ones they continue to send to Washington are, and continue to be 90% of the reason for Michigan’s Decline.
Buisinesses + People Building Cars is PRODUCTIVE- like an Ox pulling the plow
Gov’t+Taxes+Mandates+Regulation is CONSUMPTIVE-Like a leech
The LEECHES are now sucking more blood than the ox can PRODUCE!!!
Why is that so hard to understand?

I grew up in Flint but now live in Texas for many years so I have a very clear picture of what and what not to do. Flint, and Michigan in general, have been very hostile to business and its citizens through very punitive tax policies and over regulation, whereas Texas provides very attractive labor costs and often gives large tax breaks to lure companies, realizing that decreasing unemployment lessens the burden on the state and increases tax revenue from sales and property taxes.
