You can't tell me whom to hire.  Its not enough that the government in its present form assumes (quite inappropriately IMO) to tell us we cannot smoke on OUR business premises, that we MUST pay a particular rate of pay, or that hours worked cannot exceed a particular amount sans a premium of that forced wage rate, and ultimately that certain types of discrimination are not allowed.  (oh.. I'll hear about THAT comment I am sure) But NOW we would be told (by those who LOST) that we should not be able to take into consideration good financial habits?

Get lost.. or more of us will.

Someone who mismanages their own finances to a point where it is noticeable, might well mismanage an employer's.

Its common sense.

But of course, brought about by the ideals of such bought and paid for stalwarts of leftist integrity, being a bank or insurance company, or maybe even a casino type employer gets you a golden ticket type pass:

"(2) The prohibition in subsection (1) does not apply to prevent an inquiry or employment action if a good credit history is an established bona fide occupational requirement of the particular position or employment classification. Good credit history is presumed to be a bona fide job qualification for any of the following:

(a) An employee of a state or nationally chartered bank, bank holding company, or its affiliate or subsidiary.
(b) An employee of a state or federally chartered savings and  loan, savings bank, or credit union or credit union affiliate or subsidiary.
(c) An employee of an individual or firm licensed or registered under article 7 of the occupational code, 1980 PA 299, MCL 339.720 to 339.736.
(d) An employee of a casino.
(e) An employee of an insurer that is required to operate under a certificate of authority under section 402 of the insurance code of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.402, if the employee's duties include either of the following:
    (i) Working in a fiduciary capacity and engaging in life insurance transactions.
    (ii) A requirement to be licensed under federal securities law or under the uniform securities act (2002), 2008 PA 551, MCL 451.2101 to 451.2703.

You know the places..  the ones with proper credentials, like cash, election money, bailout recipients, legislative beneficiaries, and did I say cash?  And heck, the only reason the credit unions are in that list is because it would be an all too obvious service to 'select' groups of constituents, were they to be excluded.

But what the heck? For the corporate giant of 20 or thirty people with a need for a bookkeeper, checking their fiscal credibility is off limits. Indeed, why bother having interviews at all?  Why try to determine even the slightest flaw that would make an employee unpalatable? In fact why not simply establish the Forced Equity Arrangement Regulatory Unit Specialists right now?  Frankly, there is no question a F.E.A.R.U.S. division of state government would provide each business owner with an adequate lump of meat who would be quite willing to occupy a position of employment.

Perhaps this is a way to make all of those folks who have followed the Democrat dogma to the point of losing all employment skills whatsoever, just a little more umm.. ..employable.  So logically there must another step to keep them there after they have been posited on the unsuspecting Michigan business willing to stay here.

Next would be expanded reasons that are allowable for dismissal.  Stealing wouldn't cut it any longer.  The AMOUNT stolen might..  and I say that loosely.

Its not like you really OWN your business.  Maybe not in this lifetime. And sure as heck not in this state.
