The state of Michigan voted to repeal the service tax that was slated to go into effect today. However, in its place, they have created a 21.9 percent surcharge for businesses.
“This agreement protects health care, public safety and education while replacing revenue from the service tax,” said [Gov.] Jennifer Granholm
This type of rhetoric is what has bothered me most about this debate. Education (schools that, by the way, are failing even by the government’s arbitrary standards), public safety, and health care are not the only three expenditures of the state government. However, when it comes time to balance the budget, these seem to be the only issues discussed.
