The people of Michigan are idiots then. They offer to pay people 10¢ to return cans to them. If you don't buy them from them in the first place, then they charge you with a crime.

Sounds like Obamacare.

Maybe but we've got fewer cans and bottles lying on the streets and in the parks than states that don't have deposit fees........

When we purchase a 6-pack we pay a 10 cent deposit on each of those cans and when someone returns the empties, the state gives the money back.

Why expect the state to return monies for cans that were not secured by a deposit?

The same philosophy would apply to taxes. Can I go to the state of Illinois and say I'm expecting a refund from my Michigan state income taxes but I want Illinois to pay it to me?

Hey, don’t try to steal the deposits and you won’t get into trouble. We pay an extra 10 cents a container, why should you get to come across state lines, without having paid a deposit to steal our money?

Well this is MI. One of the heaviest taxed states around. One that loves taxes and obama. I know I used to live there.
