Scuba Forum / General / October 2006this is actually funny...
More liberal crap... I live in Michigan...along with a "majority" of union types/auto workers etc. Not that there is anything wrong with unions/autoworkers (blah blah blah) Michigan currently is 50th in the nation with regard to economic growth, and basically also the worst in the nation with regard to employment. Now, I'm not one of those *types*, and eagerly await the day I can sell my home and move south. But yet, these "Michiganders" apparently support Jeniffer Granholm (current failed governer) for governer re-elections according to recent polls against DeVoss. I CAN'T believe this! How f'n stupid can the sheople be? -- ~Rick www.BrethrenoftheCoast.net > More liberal crap... > I live in Michigan...along with a "majority" of union types/auto workers [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > DeVoss. > I CAN'T believe this!

That's even funner. Check this out... LANSING, Mich.--While the national economy has robustly recovered from the recession, Michigan's economy has staggered, resulting in the Wolverine state being tied for the highest unemployment rate in the nation. This should be no surprise considering the Tax Foundation ranks Michigan's business tax the worst in the nation and overall business climate as 36th out of the 50 states. In response to Michigan's economic woes, Gov. Jennifer Granholm has proposed a "revenue neutral" tax shift, borrowing $2 billion to invest directly into companies, and a budget that increases spending and raises taxes. more here: http://www.opinionjournal.com/cc/?id=110006925 Did you read that? her plan includes RAISING TAXES, Borrowing MORE, Spending MORE. I guess I'm ticked off at this because we've been doing websites for 8 years, and this year we *almost* went out of business if not for a partial merger/sell to a non michigan company.

Cool. They are going to blow billions of your tax dollars to bring benefit-less minimum wage jobs to your state, and make it easier for big corporations and CEO's to make millions, while you all slowly lose your homes and life savings. Along with all that will come increased drug and alcohol abuse, and the attendant crime increases. Tax and spend, thats the Demcorat way. >> That's even funner. >> Check this out...

Yea I read another article about Michigan topping the nation with mortgage foreclosures already. We'd sell and move south now, but can't get what our home is worth - and we live right on the water! - - ~Rick www.BrethrenoftheCoast.net > So...what't the down side? > heh. > Yea I read another article about Michigan topping the nation with mortgage > foreclosures already. > We'd sell and move south now, but can't get what our home is worth - and we > live right on the water! Funny how the tax man assess' the value of the house for more than what the market will bear... Just be glad you dont live in Kalifornia. >>>That's even funner. >>>Check this out... [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > ~Rick > www.BrethrenoftheCoast.net Can you get what you paid for it plus a profit? (adjusted for inflation and time and interest spent?) If so, and you want to move, do so. Forget about "what it's worth". It's worth what you are willing to part for it for, and what someone is willing to buy it for. "Worth" is what the final price is, and all other numbers are merely some real estate agent's wish. "Worth" goes up and own according to supply and demand and other market pressures. As I said, if you really want to move, don't let 'worth" stand in your way.

[Oh sure you can!] According to her campaign commercial she is responsible for Toyota building new auto-related plants in the State with XXX new jobs and it's just the start of the economic recovery. (That's why she's running for reelection.) Hey, at least Michigan made the list; what do you want? That's some of the nice things about the U.S.; you can vote and live where you want. >> Michigan currently is 50th in the nation with regard to economic growth, >> and basically also the worst in the nation with regard to employment. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > That's some of the nice things about the U.S.; you can vote and live where > you want. Yea but...the Toyota deal is a mess too. Toyota bid $9 million for the land, while DPG bid $16 million. Her administration didnt sell to the highest bidder as they preferred Toyota. DPG had planned to invest $1 billion in development that would have netted $20 million in new tax revenues. The problem with the preferential treatment to Toyota is that other potential major corporations see how DPG was screwed, and therefore wont consider investing. So...she lands toyota, but potentially loses a lot of other business investment. Oh well. 1 in the hand is better than to in the bush I guess. - - ~Rick www.BrethrenoftheCoast.net
