Michigan and Canada

Michigan needs money/we take Canadian trash

Michigan needs money/we give our waterways to Canada

Michigan needs money/we take KOCH coal trash and the LEAVE it next to fresh water waterways-WTF???

Michigan needs money for corporations/we give tax breaks to Canada and multinational corporations

Michigan elites want more money/we give them our eco system

This is no longer a state of democracy in Michigan-we are now the China of the US

And what do the citizens get? Not a goddamn fucking thing except threats to raise gas taxes by 14 cents when we already have some of the priciest gas in the country.

Didn't Engler sort of spend that giving tax breaks to corps? Or am I mis-remembering? Now we need money so we act like a trash dump.
