I really, really thought long and hard about what would happen if those of us who were gainfully employed taxpayers simply stopped working.   Think about it.  If we all threw up our hands and said:  Ok, Democrats.  You want tax dollars for your crazy programs?  You will have to get them somewhere else.  We will no longer contribute.  We, the taxpaying citizens of this state, refuse to play this game anymore.  Find another way to pay the overpaid, underworked members of the DFT.  YOu will need to get a private funding source for your "Pure Michigan" campaign.  Want to pay the college and university professors more, or build dorms with hot tubs and exercise rooms in them?  I guess you will have to extract that money from someone else, 'cause we are done paying.  A sit-down strike.  Seems to me that sort of tactic worked quite well for another group of workers in another industry...perhaps all we need to do is unionize and insist on some collective bargaining!
