    Hey, about those tax reform recommendations . . . (none / 0) (#1)
    by Kevin Rex Heine on Thu Jan 15, 2009 at 03:59:49 PM EST
    . . . is it my imagination, or did these goofs ignore the single most effective tax reform of all?

    All we have to do is enact the Michigan FairTax Proposal and we'll have created an economic environment where businesses can flourish!

    The Michigan FairTax Proposal will:

    • eliminate all taxes enacted since and including 2007

    • eliminate all state-level taxation (including income and business taxation) except for the sales tax

    • force Lansing to roll the state budget back to the 2006-2007 fiscal cycle

    • constitutionally mandate all revenue sharing with counties, townships, and municipalities (instead of half, as is being done now)

    • place the entire state tax system behind the same "Proposal A" firewall that protects the sales tax, so that the legislature (and governor) cannot enact new taxes, resurrect old taxes, or raise the sales tax WITHOUT voter approval . . . in advance

    • make everyone who spends money in Michigan (regardless of income level, income source, or residency status) a state taxpayer

    • simplify the state tax code . . . forever

    Really, a great idea that the Mackinac Center overlooked . . . and shouldn't have.
