When is a tax hike not a tax hike?
When it's on Michigan's working poor.

But hey, if we give businesses a tax cut in return, it's all good.

I thought you guys liked arguing eliminating a tax break isn't a tax hike.

They could raise taxes on union members and their pensions. Is that cool?

Michigan also took 5% from teachers this past year, so even your snide remark's kinda' wrong.

Feigned outrage. Chances are pretty good that the working poor are net tax receivers, not really tax payers (at least regarding income tax).

I don't feel terribly bad for Michigan teachers. How many of us would like to have our entire health care premiums paid by our employers? If it were me, I wouldn't whine about how unfair things are.

Less whining, more pointing out your fellow wingnuts going back on their word (or at least finding convenient loophools) MHB.

Besides many districts are either drasticially cutting back on insurance or requiring teachers to pay into better healthcare benefits. But go ahead and throw chit out there and hope it sticks. You'll fit in here just fine.
