Living in Michigan over the years, I have learned to always expect deception from the (L&Ses) in Lansing. I remember when the Gov (Engler?) was pushing his school finance “reform”. He was promising a big property tax cut, in exchange for an increase in the sales tax of “only 2%” He lied like a rug. It was a 2 percentage point increase, from 4% to 6%, ie, a 50% increase in the sales tax.
Did you see the newly announced candidate for Gov on TV last night? He cried that his granddaughter is receiving a better education in Mississippi than the kids living down the street from him here in Michigan receive. Of course, he didn’t say if his granddaughter was going to an elite private school in Mississippi, vs kids going to Michigan public schools.
Of course, he wants to repeal the income tax, without saying how the loss of revenue would be dealt with, he wants to reinstate “right to work”, and he wants more “school choice”.
That is “Plant Steve to save SS”: a work requirement for able bodied people, regardless of age, to receive the Medicare benefits they paid for, and the SS pension only available to people who were too broken down and feeble for the “JCs” to extract any more work from.
