There's an old joke about Michigan: "Last one to leave, please turn out the lights."  But it is NOT a joke any more!

Jennifer Granholm was re-elected after utterly destroying this state with her fiscal policies.  At election time, this state was ranked 50th....DEAD LAST economically!

But you reap what you sow.  Now that Jenny was been re-elected, she feels she has a mandate to do anything she pleases.  So the first thing on her plate was of course, like any good Democrat, raising taxes.

She became serious last week regarding three particular taxes.  One has to do with business taxation.  No sooner did she start to introduce her plan to raise business taxes, than one of this states biggest employers decides to move out.

Pfizer is no ordinary company.  We are not losing blue collar bucks in this zinger.  These folks are six figure employees.  Scientist, engineers, chemists and researchers.  And the businesses surrounding Pfizer are going to be hurt tremendously by the loss of 3000 jobs!  The ripple effect will be nothing like this state has ever felt before!

This follows the loss of THOUSANDS of other jobs which Jenny has chased away.

The wife and I are talking about getting out.  But we don't think we can sell our house.  So many are leaving, there is a HUGE glut of homes on the market.

I've lived here 45 of my 50 years.  It's a beautiful state.  But it is rapidly being destroyed by a governor and Congress that are hell bent on harming us.

Oh, by the way, did I mention the 12 cent per gallon gasoline tax she is also introducing?  And the sales tax which is already at 6%???!!!!!

Please pray for those in this state.  We are REALLY hurting.  (This is one the Dems can't blame on Bush.)
