Tag: FTW (page 3)By JGillman, Section News
The last post on this should have been challenged. While it was true it has little bearing in the end. Being affected by how many folks you pack into a house, shared expenses in other ways etc., really play more into the whole bang for the buck thing. Cut your expenses, and whatever it is that you bring in goes a bit farther. Michigan still has higher cost of living than other states, and particularly as compared to states with freedom to work laws.
I am not sure about all of the whys, but it is consistent when averaged. People in Right-to-Work states have more coin, bread, bucks, capital, cash, scratch, chips, coin, coinage, dough, greenbacks, or gravy when the day is done. By nearly $2,000 average. Disposable income higher in Right to Work states Employees enjoy higher income, lower cost of living in Right to Work states
Cost of Living-Adjusted Per Capita Disposable Personal Income
Right to Work States . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $35,543

Often the argument against Right-To-Work laws is a flippant "Oh yeah .. Right to work for less" type of response. Many of those who say that might actually believe it, but the truth is far different.
Personal income is higher in Right to Work states Yessiree, employees in Right to Work states enjoy higher personal income per capita than in Michigan. Per recent census data:

Regulars know I am pushing for Freedom to work (right to work) in Michigan. Part of the argument going forward in this state will be to present the data for all to see. For this installment, we look at the top Job creating states versus the bottom.

Its time to take back our state, and regain control of our own efforts and skills. Folks here have seen some of my commentary on the issue, and understand where I am on the issue. Quite a bit of effort has been made in the background on this issue so that it has the fighting chance it deserves. The planning and execution of this has included some of the organizers taking hardship on themselves to push for this all too appropriate measure for Michigan. They took leaves of absence from paying jobs. This is important enough for a number of folks who might otherwise have minor disagreement, to come together in this much needed effort. We will need your help on this as well. So note his press release comes from only a single group involved in our effort to unshackle Michigan workers to their unions, and bring accountability back to workers' representation. From the Campaign for Liberty Tony Demott begins. (Note that Terry Bowman, a UAW worker is a point man in this) Also note that there will be an effort to "out" Republicans who do not take advantage of this one opportunity to complete the process of healing the state of Michigan. The pressure will be on, and if your Michigan Representative or Senator does not support what OUGHT TO BE seen as a natural right, perhaps its time they go back to the private sector and work for ... SIEU. We are not kidding. Begin Message:
Dear Michigan Patriots, Over the past couple of weeks, we have been working to put Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville on record on Right to Work. Will he allow a vote? We are not alone in this fight. In fact, we've worked closely with Terry Bowman, President and founder of Union Conservatives. I'm honored to introduce Terry and his group to you.
