Seldon MSW Thu, 12 May 2011 21:21:19 +0000 http://www.seiu517m.org/?p=588#comment-189 The business leaders have undercut American workers, because of miss management, abuse of the American free market systems against the American citizens who want to work and support our country. We can only hope that the business leaders can re-invest in America, not part out America workers and that the economy will expand by investing in America so when the business is in recovery and the profits start to roll in again, Public workers will not be used as escape goats for failed economic policy. It is apparent that taxing retires is a another message for retirees to be forced out of Michigan to move to other States that have a non Discriminatory policy related to taxation.
