Could

The key word in this guest commentary on eliminating the personal property tax on industrial equipment is "could"--Mr. Johnston states that with the corporate tax reform enacted last year that eliminating this business tax "could generate 20,000 to 45,000 jobs."

What a load of horseshit.  The business tax cuts enacted last year have created zero jobs in Michigan.  The auto bailout created the ones we have had.  Eliminating the business tax on personal property will also create zero jobs--but services will be cut for Michiganders, our infrastrcture will continue to crumble, and people will continue to leave the state in droves.

This is another in a long line of corporate welfare ploys that results in worse living and working conditions for 99% of us, and only enhance the wealth of those who already have too much.

How many more of these pieces by lying sacks of shit will the Free Press continue to run?  I'm sick to death of being deluged with pro-business bullshit with no alternative pieces while the Free Press thinks it's covering its left flank by publishing pieces by Leonard Pitts a few times a week.

Give me a fucking break.
