McCain supporters on this website are a sad bunch.


Always a race card from Dieter!


Not really sure how raising taxes helps her situation without income redistribution. High taxes on businesses cause unemployment.

Michigan just recently repealed the Single Business Tax (SBT) with a gun to Gov. Granholm's head. We will see if the new tax structure has the desired effect of returning investment dollars to the stagnant Michigan economy.

"Lawmakers have a real chance at lasting tax reform if they are willing to take the tough steps to lead Michigan down the right path," says Atkins. "If not, they'll be right back where they started in just a few years."

She says "I won't have to WORRY about putting gas in my car" "I won't have to WORRY about paying my mortgage".
