Well…as you know, the roads here in Michigan are some of the worst in the nation, caused by the tax cuts that the repubs gave business here which have starved the government of the funds it needs to provide even the most basic services. Now, the repubs are back at it again with proposals to raise the gas tax by 25 cents a gallon to fund the needed repairs that have been caused by their neglect…but, as every economist will tell you, these types of taxes fall the most heavily on the poor and middle class who have been screwed by the repubs for too many years to count. They did this three years ago when they gave businesses a 1.6 billion dollar tax cut paid for by raising taxes on the retired and middle class that has not yielded one job according to numerous studies that have been done but has inflated CEO and executive pay to match the 1.6 billion…so, basically, every retiree has written a check out of his retirement fund and has given it to a CEO here in Michigan. What if, instead of upping taxes on the people, we just rescinded the failed tax cuts to business? That is the problem with ideological economic policy, it doesn’t have to work….the repubs just have to believe it works and that is just a good as proof…keep voting for these idiots Michigan and pretty soon business will be untaxed and you won’t be able to eat…geez…
