Justin Amash "These legislators -- Justin Amash of Kentwood, Dave Agema of Grandville, Bob Genetski of Saugatuck and Tom McMillin of Rochester Hills -- have led the charge for free markets and a level playing field for all businesses to create jobs. It would have been nice to see the newspaper recognize their efforts."

In the Gazette's recent editorial "Some state tax credits are costing us more than they're worth," the Gazette rightly points out that targeted tax credits are costing Michigan jobs and tax revenues.


Justin Amash To paraphrase Frédéric Bastiat, when our legislators act to benefit some persons at the expense of other persons, then the law is converted from an instrument of liberty into an instrument of plunder.

Thanks, Teresa. I don't know who your rep is, but I'll continue to fight for liberty for all the people of Michigan.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep ... but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -CS Lewis.

With GM in bankruptcy, an unemployment rate that leads the nation and a shrinking revenue base forcing round after round of painful budget cuts, it's hard to predict what's next for Michigan.
