    Bottom line: Who will they make cry? (5.00 / 1) (#18)
    by Angry White Male on Sun May 27, 2007 at 03:00:26 PM EST
    The pressure's on the budgeteers, and it won't come off until they've made one of two groups cry. If they raise taxes, especially the income tax, citizens will cry, as they watch this state's economy crumble even faster. Parents will cry as their children move away seeking opportunity, and property owners will cry just as did anyone who held on to their Detroit property after 1967.

    If they don't raise taxes then that means they have to get serious about reining in the pay and perks of the privileged class of government and school workers, who are doing much better than private sector workers in this state. The average pay and bennies of a state govenment worker is $75,000 according to the Mackinac Center, and $58,000 in the private sector here. There will be plenty of tears in Lansing and in union and Dem halls, but sighs of relief everywhere else.
