I predict that even more businesses will leave the state.

“However,if that employer is current on any federal loans,they receive a tax credit,otherwise known as FUTA,of 5.4%.Taxes are paid on the first $7,000 of income in Michigan.So a $434 tax is reduced by $378 leaving the employer to actually pay $56 per employee each year. “

BOHICA FUTA Baby!

Jeff Daniels just renegotiated his contract for double the fee.

This fake economy is coming to an end soon. States can’t pay their bills. Keep taking money from people and you have no economy.

The UAW could care less, they are employers.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Would whoever wrote this article PLEASE run for State Governor in the next gubernatorial election!

They OBVIOUSLY understand state-level financing, debt burden, the effects of over taxation of businesses, and long-term debt reduction.

Aren’t there celebrities on national TV doing advertisements for investing in Michigan. Sounds like it’d be sounder to invest in Zimbabwe.

Jenny Grandtheft is just trying to keep the roof off her head till she gets out the door. Fortunately our next governor will likely be a republican.

Pete Hoekstra and Mike Cox are the republican front runners in the race. Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is the only truly viable democrat candidate since Cherry dropped out.

This is what happened, post civil-war, when we started ratifying constitutional amendments that allowed the federal government to start intermingling within the states and then started allowing the federal government to tax states' citizens directly. They give us a little gold (in order to make us think they are beneficial) while stealing our diamonds and platinum behind our backs. We got what we asked for and now it's time to pay the piper. But now we need to revolutionize (at the ballot box and peacefully in the streets) and demand we return to the country we had pre civil-war (minus the slaves, of course).

On a side note, I grew up in Michigan the second half of my growing-up years and I've learned one thing about Michigan voters: Michigan voters are too stupid to vote their way out of this mess. They reelected Granholm AFTER the state was in a one-state depression for years and they continue to vote for Democrat presidential candidate every election cycle. They also continue to reelect Stabinow and Levin as their Senators. They never learn; they are the true definition of insanity. Beautiful state; stupid people.

My bet is on Pete. Virg is an unknown out side of Lansing. And Cox well his name says it all.

No, they are the middle man between employers and employees. They come in with a guarantee to help the employees suck as much from their employers (for a fee of course) as they can until it all falls apart because the government is doing the same thing. That began, along with liberal governments, Michigan's business downfall.
