Before Hitting the Polls: One Last Statement on Why Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Must Go

"It is critically important that in these last couple of days Michiganders understand that Rick Snyder should not and can't be trusted in any form or fashion to tell the truth.

The Governor is on the ropes thanks to Democratic Challenger Mark Schauer aggressive campaigning as of late. As a result, Gov. Snyder knows full well the only way he can have a "shot" at re-election is by doing what he does best ----lying.

Voters must understand Rick Snyder cut $1.8 BILLION with a Capital B out of Michigan's Public Education system in order to satisfy rich donors to his campaign in the "private/charter" school business. The Governor raised taxes on Michigan's Seniors with the "Pension Tax", middle class with cuts to the Homestead Property Tax Credit and the working poor with the darn near elimination of the Earned Income Tax credit from a maximum of $650 once a year to $50.00 in total.

Additionally, Rick Snyder promised and lied that giving a 1 Billion dollar tax break ---which was in reality a tax shift -- to C & S Corporations in this State would "create jobs". According to figures from BLS or the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, Michigan's unemployment rate REMAINS the 8th highest in the nation."

but Snyder is deep in "jerk" territory. And he is a serial liar. I hate how the University of Michigan, because it employed him to teach a couple courses, says nothing.
