Subject: JOBS, JOBS and more JOBS

 
Peter,
 
Even the CEO group that John Rakolta belongs to is recommending rather timid actions to turn our Michigan economy around.  We are meeting with these CEO's as well as political and community leaders to inform them that there is a proven solution .  They are now really beginning to listen.  See below what I recently wrote about Michigan's business environment and the proposed solution.  I have yet to hear a sound economic reason for not moving forward to its adoption.
 

The New Group, Business Leaders for Michigan did Good, BUT…

 

I congratulate the new group, Business Leaders for Michigan, on creating a comprehensive plan to rescue the Michigan economy from the edge of the economic abyss by improving Michigan's business tax environment and reducing state expenditures.

 

The legislature is now wrestling with the current budget crisis caused by declining tax revenue due to Michigan's decline in business and loss of jobs.  Much of the decline in state revenue can be attributed Michigan's heavy reliance on volatile tax revenue sources, like income tax and many business taxes. 

 

Had the state relied more heavily on a broader retail sales tax, historically a much more stable revenue source, the loss in state revenues would have been much smaller.  Looking at only the General Fund-General Purpose (GF-GP) portion of the state budget (about 1/3 of the total state budget), state GF-GP revenues would have been $1.2 billion more.  This is because total 2009 GF-GP revenues declined by 20.6% from 2008, whereas, sales tax revenue declined by only 8.3% during the same period.*

 

There is a proposal to switch from the state income tax and Michigan Business Tax (MBT) to a broad retail sales tax called the MI FairTax.  Not only would it provide a more stable revenue source for the funding of state government, it would give Michigan the most attractive business tax environment in the U.S.  Because consumers actually pay all "business" taxes in the prices of the products they purchase, the MI FairTax eliminates these hidden taxes and makes the taxes 100% visible on every sales receipt.  This visibility of taxes was intended by our Founding Fathers to provide a natural restraint on the size and reach of government.

 

By removing state taxes from the prices of Michigan made goods and services the MI FairTax makes Michigan labor and business more competitive in the global market.  This would bring jobs and prosperity back to Michigan like no other proposal contemplated or possible.

 

While it is a good thing that these top business leaders have joined together to remove 60% of the MBT, their proposal still perpetuates the deception that businesses pay taxes, continues to hide taxes from the public in prices and does little to reduce tax compliance cost.  It also leaves in place the state income tax which punishes productive behavior (work, savings, investing, etc.) by taxing such behavior. 

 

The MI FairTax replaces Michigan income and business taxes with a simple retail sales tax.  No more tax returns and no more tax compliance cost.  It is in the best interest of Michigan for these business leaders to learn more about the MI FairTax and to be bold in their solution. 

 

The MI FairTax may be more difficult to enact as it requires a constitutional amendment to raise the sales tax rate, but it will then constitutionally provide better representation and protection to the people.  The current buying and selling of tax favors between special interests and legislators, that today corrupts our representative form of government, will cease and our elected representatives will once again be responsible to citizens rather than lobbyists.  The MI FairTax will also constitutionally prohibit the reintroduction of the income tax and the MBT and the introduction of any new state tax or increase of the FairTax rate without a vote of the people.

 

Legislated reforms, like those proposed by these well intentioned business leaders, can easily be reversed by future trade in tax favors between lobbyists and elected officials, and citizens will once again be under represented.

 

No other proposal will do more to attract companies and jobs to Michigan than the MI FairTax.  Only the MI FairTax will make Michigan the No. 1 place for business expansion, and this is what is most needed to turn our economy around and quickly.  More information can be found at www.mifairtax.org.

Peter Luke: Michigan jobs burn while Lansing fiddles

By Peter Luke

November 22, 2009, 12:00AM

Construction company head John Rakolta has a message for those candidates seeking election next year:

Unless you can specifically detail how half of the 850,000 jobs lost so far this decade can be replaced in four years, don't even bother. Because in a state with the nation's highest unemployment rate, your campaign won't have any credibility.

Last week's House hearing by industry proponents of Michigan's tax credit program for film production morphed into broader concerns that a dysfunctional political climate all but guarantees predictions that the state will take decades to economically recover.

Rakolta is CEO of Walbridge Aldinger Co., the firm that will build the $76 million project to turn a GM complex in Pontiac into film production studios that would employ 3,600 and provide some 500 construction jobs.

Given continued complaints about the credits and a Senate-passed bill that would reduce their value, project backers aren't sure Michigan is prepared to hold up its end of the deal.
Rakolta says the business climate is "toxic" right now because distrusting investors see Michigan not as "a state of cohesion," but a "state of contention."

"The only thing Lansing should be focusing on is jobs, jobs and more jobs," he said. "Nothing good can happen in this state until we return to full employment."

Since it's not that complicated, it shouldn't be so hard.

In fiscal year 2009, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation spent $30 million in one-time money on its award-winning "Pure Michigan" tourism campaign, including a first-ever national cable television ad buy that received plaudits across the country.

Lawmakers knew when they appropriated the money that they'd have to replace it with a permanent funding source in FY 2010. A leisure and hospitality industry that employs nearly 400,000 is counting on lawmakers to grasp a basic fact of marketing: A brand that doesn't receive sustained support will wither, thus wasting the investment made to build it in the first place.

Instead a whole year has been wasted because lawmakers haven't passed the one funding solution on the table, earmarking tourism-related sales tax revenue. A proposed fee on airport car rentals died because even taxing out-of-state visitors to support jobs for Michigan residents is politically impossible.

So lawmakers have chopped the ad budget by 80 percent to $5.7 million. State tourism officials promptly canceled a planned campaign to promote winter tourism and announced that most of the summer campaign could be scrapped as well.

A year ago, a bipartisan panel reported that while Michigan's infrastructure was on the road to ruin, tens of thousands of jobs could be created by, yes, raising gas taxes and registration fees.

The timing of the report, issued on the eve of a 2009 non-election year, was supposed to spur lawmakers to action. Aside from a couple of hearings, nothing has happened. And it's uncertain anything will, even to avoid the expected loss of $600 million in federal highway funding because lawmakers can't raise the money to match it.

Federal highway dollars instead would go to states like Illinois, where state officials last week embraced the possibility of selling a mothballed prison to house convicted and detained terrorists now being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Since federal authorities toured the now-closed Michigan prison in Standish in July, U.S. Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Holland, stoked his gubernatorial campaign with his opposition to it. Granholm, predictably cautious, hasn't lobbied for it.

Illinois' Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn last week, however, wholeheartedly endorsed a project his administration estimated would mean a $1 billion investment and 3,000 jobs.

Jim Sacia, a Republican Illinois House member who represents the northwestern Illinois town where the prison is located, and the unemployment rate is high, told the Huffington Post:

"If we lose this opportunity, all I can think of is we literally are idiots. I mean that sincerely."

Enough said.

When he took over insurance companies, car companies, banks, etc. people said it didn't matter.

When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people finally woke up........But it was too late.

Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter.   But.... when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that your Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. An All can be documented very easily.

 

Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in
stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Personally, I like happy endings. 

If you are an Obama Supporter, please do not be angry with me because I think your president is a socialist but there are too many facts supporting this. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you; we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.

Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies.

 

Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against.  There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them if they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn't.

 

Please, find the truth, it will set you free.  If you don't think of the yoke you are placing on your children and your children's children!!

Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, and Iran; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington D.C.

 

When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.

 

As Thomas Jefferson So aptly stated  "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

Oration~'Restore the American Dream' |Incredibly Remarkable, Insightful, Must Read~

My comment is below, but first be sure to go to this Blogg and read the entire dissertation.  It is incredibly remarkable:

Restore the American Dream

October 11, 2009 · 2 Comments

by Dave Johannes(maybe)

The American Dream was once a dream of an America in which life should be better, richer and fuller for all, because with hard work, ability, moral behavior and dedication you could assure yourself an opportunity for achievement or success.

The second sentence of the Declaration of Independence gave birth to the idea of the American Dream. It states that "all men are created equal" and have "certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This ideal has inspired generations to create an American experience of national pride, innovation, individual freedom, self reliance and prosperity that fueled the country to world leadership.

Since WWI the United States has been regarded as a beacon of liberty and prosperity achieved through a combination of the philosophical and ethical principles conceived by the founding fathers. Around the world America has been viewed as the promised land where one's prospects in life are defined by one's talents and energy making it a destination for immigrants worldwide in search of a better life. This included the opportunity for their children to receive an education and career opportunities. It represented the opportunity to make individual choices without the restrictions of gender, race, religion or an oppressive government. Today the American Dream is still alive and well in third world countries around the globe – yet here at home it has lost its' luster.

I am also sad to say that I have several friends I work with who immigrated to the U.S. over the past 10 to 15 years from eastern Europe, who now tell me that they feel as though America is turning toward the very thing that they tried to escape – socialism. That is a sobering thing to hear.

So what has happened that we find ourselves in our current situation?...

(read rest here, then come back and read below.)

My comment:

This Oration belongs next to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence~
 
Simple is usually what it takes to make great changes in Societies.  Just did a similar simple this evening on Health Care, here:  http://rgeorgedunn.blogspot.com/2009/11/off-cuff-health-care-plan-that-is.html
 
You spoke of something to spark us back to prosperity of days gone by, igniting the American Dream.  There is one action that can take us a long way in that direction, along with a plan to bring us back to Constitutional order in the Federal Government.  Note that great societies cannot change without a normal ten year time line to work out the logistics fiscally.
 
When Ronald Reagan Administered the Free Trade Policy, we all forgot to look at the fact that our tax structure had been set up on production costs, due to available accounting.   We listened to the Government for many years tell us that it is good, free trade and it will get better, service jobs everywhere.  What actually was happening, Corporations were buying up domestic manufacturing and taking the contracts overseas to avoid the IRS code.  Thus, the once largest manufacturing Nation of the world, which won both World Wars foundational by American Manufacturing, was whittled down to size world wide.  Now we are left with an currency that once was the largest asset in the world to an currency with the largest debt in the world.  We have been hoodwinked.
 
To correct this, simply adopt the two proposals in both the House and Senate called the FairTax Resolution.  This will reduce the cost of production in the USA and will spread equal the Federal tax revenue on both Domestic and Foreign goods, causing a flood of manufacturing back into America.  This will cause such an upspring in wage demands offered by employers, as employees will be in great need and for the first time since the Federal Reserve, workers will be the cause of inflation.
 
A great site has rose up for the Constitutional vetting of candidates.  The questionnaire is awesome and if you are a nationalist, you will fail the test.  Go to http://icaucus.ning.com .  Election Federalists will cure our lack of Constitutional conduct.  Accepted the repented, but fire the liar.
 
  • Della, had a great debate on U.S.Constitution.net message board about how the Seventh Amendment has eroded State Sovereignty. 100% agree with you, that if we had Senators from the ranks of State legislature choice, that Senator would be imposing the Constitution on the Federal Government's unconstitutional usurpation of powers.  Appealing the 17th Amendment is a must.
The FairTax plan also appeals the 16th Amendment, that in 1913 began the progressive movement of socialism.  "A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism." - Karl Marx
The end result will be, we the people will suddenly be in charge of our own destiny, in that we can actually legally avoid paying taxes by not buying anything new, should we ever again have a Constitutional Crisis as are now.
 
It would behoove the Governors to hold an Constitutional Summit, to discuss all this and get their States on the same page.
 
Those who read this 'Restore American Dream', please copy the link and send it to everyone you know.  God Bless this Author, who ever it is.

An Off the Cuff Health Care Plan that is Constitutional

Was inspired to write an idea solution for Health Care below for the USA to provide for change in the Social structure that President Roosevelt began and today's choices are demanding:
 
 

One major sticking point is a provision that would allow Americans to buy a federal-run insurance plan if their state allows it. Moderates say they worry the so-called public option will become a huge and costly entitlement program and that other requirements in the bill could cripple businesses. ...

***

Here is the Solution: 

  • drop the Federal idea and persuade States to institute mandated health insurance coverage for everyone through private Companies. 
  • Open the States to inter-State policy offers if a State so chooses. 
  • Make it mandatory for States to absorb Medicare & Social Security by a certain time period, of course at their option, but with end to Federal coverage.  Suggest the formation of HSA/IRAs beginning at a given date starting  at a given age, dropping them from SSI beginning immediately, to include taxes.
  • Set uniform guidelines for inter-state Medical Services
  • Establish HSA/IRA guidelines for inter-State movement and investment monitoring.   Advise States to provide local banking Institution accounting and saving of HSA/IRA structure responsibility.
  • Establish a cutoff date for Federal Medicaid, coordinating it with a tax cut, allowing for States to raise funds to replace Washington Handout
  • Make Insurance policies so the consumer may keep no matter where the location, eliminating the pre-condition problem.
  • Honor contracts, to wit:  If fully insured, cannot drop for new condition; if clause initialed by consumer that they will be dropped after first treatment of new condition, consumer is self insuring thereafter.
  • Privatize all insurance policies to individuals only making Insurance contracts portable.
  • Suggest State's provide a method of covering the unemployed with continued policy between jobs by splitting cost between past employer and employee.
  • suggest Welfare structure be done to provide for savings incentive in Healthcare by users through the HSA/IRA concept, improving competition and lowering Health Care abuse.
  • Implement the rest of the GOP points at appropriate level of Government.  The Tort reform will save on many insurances employers have, to include workman comp, which should be an employee insurance option.
  • Implement FairTax Resolutions to provide jobs for consumers to be able to afford living as well as insurance.
I just spent a few minutes speaking to the paragraph above, thus very rough.  Sure seems like it is very small compared to 2,000 pages of who knows what?
 
  Wherever President Bush found the HSA plan, he brought it to life and needs accolades for doing so.
 
Final point, please start respecting the Constitution and the Sovereignty of the States.  Without it, our future is bleak.

Civil unrest and martial law in the US

Saturday October 4, 2008

by Rod Dreher
Categories: Decline and fall

Several of you have privately pointed me to this story from last week in Army Times, which reports on the new, permanent mission of the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat team. It's not Iraq; it's within the United States....

...The 1st BCT's soldiers also will learn how to use "the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded," 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.

The package is for use only in war-zone operations, not for any domestic purpose.

Oh, of course not (he says, nervously). More:

"I can't think of a more noble mission than this," said Cloutier, who took command in July. "We've been all over the world during this time of conflict, but now our mission is to take care of citizens at home ... and depending on where an event occurred, you're going home to take care of your home town, your loved ones."

I mean to cast no aspersions on this commander, but that language is, frankly, Orwellian. The reader who first tipped me off to this story caught a reference to it in The American Conservative, which last year ran a remarkable piece about how the legal barriers preventing the deployment of US soldiers domestically was eroding. Excerpt...

***

My comment:

 
Well, if we have repealed back to 1787, then why are we still deploying this Brigade and why has the Homeland Security listed teaparty protesters as terrorists as well as veterans?
 
The bottom line is We the People and our States have allowed the Federal Government to become a State if it's own, over all States, with the tyrannical usurpation of the Constitution and State Sovereignty.  In 1913, it started with the income tax and then with expansion by Roosevelt in the Great Deal, then by Johnson with the Great Society.  Now we have an open coup by communism through Obama. 
 
We are still at the point of using our vote rather then the sword.  But if we abrogate our responsibility to protect of liberty and freedom within the Constitution in this 2010 election, God help us now.  There is a new tool now available for pruning candidates called 'The Independence Caucus  http://icaucus.ning.com .  They have a Vetting questionnaire that weeds out unconstitutional candidates and promotes thows who will put this Nation back on the straight and narrow of the Constitution.  Mind you, the process will take years to unfold the tyrannical oligarchy of the USA, but it can be done, peacefully, if we but get involved and vote for Re-Founding this Nation. 
 
One other step needs immediate attention, that being our tax structure.  Our current tax system is production based meaning the cost of taxation is built into the price of product making free trade impossible.  The http://fairtax.org plan removes a tax from paychecks and others taking it out of production and putting it on consumption, making for a fair tax method in which the rich, hiding behind lobbyist loopholes and offshore accts, illegals and criminals will all pay their share. 
 
With the Constitution being adhered to and our manufacturing coming back to the USA, we will once again prosper.  Of course it will also require a moral awaking like Governor Huckabee's Constitutional Amendments defining life to begin at conception and for Traditional marriage be the law, the re-inventing of the cast system, which in reality is the Law of God written into the hearts of all people, with faith or not.

American Free Enterprise is still alive, but on life support. Give it FairTax for a full recovery.

 We need to change our tax structure and give business a green light to come to Michigan and get us our jobs back.  Michigan has the most intelligent, talented employee pool in the world and it is being taxed to literal death, forcing Michiganders to leave this awesome State for other States that know this and have attracted. 
 
I heard, but not verified yet, that most foreign corporations shipping into America have their parent Corporation in the USA.  The Baine Capital Corporation would buy up struggling companies, sell off assets and take the production contracts overseas to fill orders.  It made a few people rich enough to even try to buy the Presidency.
 
We in Michigan need both the www.fairtax.org and www.mifairtax.org implemented.  It will bring jobs back to the Michigan multi-fold.  Imagine a world where employees are in such demand, that employers submit bids for their services.  Now that is an inflation I can wrap my arms around, wages leading the way.  The Federal Reserve use to hold unemployment levels at 5% to keep that from happening.  What was that all about and it makes one wonder what the Federal Reserve is hiding by not opening their book to audit, hm?
 
The GOP is under the process of being taken over by new management, the Grassroots.  It is time for the Corporate world to serve the people, not the other way.  American Free Enterprise is still alive, but on life support.  Give it FairTax for a full recovery.  Stop abusing the Constitution and empower States back to their Sovereignty.  Freedom kept is much easier then finding Freedom lost.  In reading the Declaration of Independence, our current Wisdom is found lacking.  Help bring the GOP back to the Grassroots, to We the People. 
 
Stand up for the Constitution
 
and for FairTax.
 
in Michigan
