    CC Survey Confirms: MBT Increased Taxes (none / 0) (#3)
    by Lex Rex on Wed Oct 21, 2009 at 03:49:56 PM EST
    From Bill Jackson at the GR Chamber of Commerce:

    A recent survey by the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce and its partners in the West Michigan Chamber Coalition, consisting of the Grand Haven/Spring Lake, Holland and Muskegon area chambers of commerce, showed that nearly 60 percent of respondents saw their annual tax liability dramatically increase under the MBT. Ten percent saw their business tax more than double.

    More food for thought from Jackson here.

    We need a better business tax," Jackson said. We created a business-tax code to get to a number. Instead, we should have created a tax code that was broad and fair and competitive with other states.

    I don't believe that the excuse of "revenue neutrality" will hold up to any serious scrutiny when voters are examining the records of those who voted for the MBT.  At a time when families are trimming budgets and making tough choices, the legislature failed in their responsibility to do the same.
