Taxes? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Taxes!

Michigan Caucus Announces Oakland Anti-tax Petition Drive

Oakland County Chief Punk, Inebriate and Railroad In­spec­tor L. Brooks Patterson pro­pos­es a petition drive to eliminate the Single Business Tax in Mich­i­gan, perhaps the most progressive bus­i­ness tax in the United State­s. And, nat­u­ral­ly, its the most vil­i­fi­ed by the Right. This "fis­cal con­ser­va­tive" also says nothing about re­plac­ing the income lost by the po­ten­tial repeal of the tax.

So, in that vein, the Michigan Caucus proudly an­nounc­es its own petition drive to repeal all Oakland County tax­es. Ir­res­pon­si­ble? You bet. Crass appeal to the base? Sure. Scary? Absolutely. What will hap­pen to the Oakland County gov­ern­ment? We don't care. Let Brookie figure it out. Now, make ours a "double."
