"We have outsourced a substantial portion of our manufacturing operations to countries in Asia..."

The far right already has its Tea Party. Now, it's got a Mad Hatter.

Because you'd have to be mad, right, to think that what Michigan needs is a corporate CEO. Because those CEOs have done a lot for the country, and for Michigan, right?

Wrong.

Now it's clear that Rick Snyder isn't a "tough nerd" but another fat cat bonus baby. In fact, he's so far from the realm of reason that he thinks we won't notice that he, like Dick DeVos before him, sent thousands of Michigan jobs overseas.

You'd have to be a Mad Hatter to think that what Michigan's hard-working families want is to wave goodbye to more jobs, so big business can benefit.

There was a time..... (0.00 / 0)
I once thought businesses in Michigan were in Michigan for the betterment of Michigan. I now know it's for the betterment of those with their hands in our pockets. Michigan and it's workers have lost many jobs to the outsourcing of the businesses we so admittedly thought would stay here. Obviously that wasn't the case. Sure the CEO's of these businesses are still here or have a residence here, but they took their jobs and the products where the money is and the cheap labor, Steelcase, Hayworth, Herman Miller, GM, just to name a few, and what else did they take with them, the people that were educated here. And who's left???? those that don't have a job, those that have a meager living, and the service industry. Michigan has been fleeced by the people who would have you believe it's GOOD for Michigan, and they are living of their profits in other cities and states paying taxes there. Now we must rely on those people coming back to vacation here. It's not paying the bills! Is it Lansing?? Get a clue, politicians get it right or get out!
