we pay state and city tax according to income, and now they want to end all social programs including the ACA so the wealthy can avoid paying state and city taxes. The sooner we get rid of the Republicans the better. Also then they will raise sales tax, so even the working poor, disabled and elderly will have to pay more in taxes. There will also be a hidden taxes. WE had best get to vote on it.

See the Reps want to cut out programs to balance the budget, then they want to cut taxes for the wealthy.
We can't become a state like Texas, the uninsured capital of the US.


LANSING — If a state lawmaker has his way, both city and state income taxes could become a thing of the past — but not for 43 years.

State Rep. Aric Nesbitt, R-Lawton, introduced bills last month that would phase out the state's 4.25% income tax, one-tenth of a percent at a time. Starting on Jan. 1, 2018, and every New Year's Day after for more than four decades, the tax rate would be reduced one-tenth of 1% until it reached zero. A reduction to 4.15% would cost the state roughly $224 million in tax revenues in the first year. In 2013, the last year that figures were available, the income tax generated $6.9 billion for the state.

Another bill would prohibit cities from levying income taxes, also beginning on Jan. 1, 2018. The bill wouldn't affect the 22 cities that already have an income tax.

New bills include elimination of state, city income taxes

You do realize that State and local taxes affect the middle class far more than they do the wealthy. Right?
 
We don't have a state income tax and our sales tax is only 3% more than yours is right now. Suck on that, buckwheat :p
 
Its cool for me because im almost right on the TN/KY line so I can go shopping in KY and save money on sales tax :)

No, I am very happy to pay our own and our city tax. Why do the Pubs do this? they are not giving or caring people. I have become very convinced of that. They will kick a homeless person than feed one.

Their pretense they care for the homeless vets is probably just a lie, they have had plenty of time to do something, but almost half of the homeless vets are African American and Hispanics, and they do not care.

In Mi there is shortage of subsidized housing for the disable, lower call and seniors and they want to cut taxes. Are they crazy!!

No , and even so pay on the money you earn. The middle class pay less and that is ok, everyone should pay according to their income. Now if they kept the taxes on the wealthy , those over 250,000 fine.

The middle class is further off paying state tax than having a higher sales tax.

What is Kentucky sales tax? Does TN have a full time legislature?

Yo, don`t you sound like the bright one? NOT! By the way, read your post brightness, tell me if you see anything wrong?

"We can't not become a state like Texas,"

Well do you brightness?

The Republicans are looking out for the "Slave Taxpayer" in that State, and other States need to follow suit! Now if you think this is wrong? Why don`t you gather up some of your Rich friends?, and Volunteer yourself, and your so-called Rich friends to pay for everything you think is wrong? "LOVE IT"

Screw an income tax. I think it would be awesome if we got rid of the income tax completely. Including Federal.

I fixed it, before you pointed it out. No they are looking about the wealthy, plain and simple. I am going to help the Dems take back MI.

Then again we had 4.9 million voters and Trumpet won by 10,700, rigged.

In Mi there is shortage of subsidized housing for the disable, lower call and seniors and they want to cut taxes. Are they crazy!!

I don't think the bills will eliminate revenue for the state. It will just be shifted to sales and use taxes I presume. Since those who consume more would pay more it seems to be a more progressive tax with no special deductions or credits to specific people.

Subsidized housing for the poor, veterans programs and seniors are for the most part federal programs, so I would not suspect any problems there.

No on paying mine? :( :lol:

They aren't what? Federally funded? Absolutely are funded by the feds (HUD) and administered through Michigan agencies.
