well, over half the state budget goes to various social programs, including head start, paid day care, and lifetime welfare benefits.......by all means, we cannot possibly touch those !!!! (sarcasm on)..let the working people continue to provide a living for those that refuse to work........while we tear up our cars going to work on the pi$$ poor roads in this state...
Do you have a source for this? I've had to put up with colleagues throwing Tax Foundation reports at me saying Michigan has the 22d highest tax burden. My impression is that taxes (including fees) are higher than any place I have lived except Mass. The regulatory burden is also far higher than any place except Mass. There's lots of bureaucrats, lots of hoops, but very little service. Now I just need proof.
