Michigan Mackinac Policy Center Made A Substantial Error

Look at this crap.

"For more than 25 years, nobody has done more to fight corporate welfare in Michigan than we have."

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy

This was a Facebook post.


Yes, I called the statement of the Mackinac Center For Public Policy crap.

Seriously?

Really?

This is the think tank which has been advocating cuts in child welfare, eventually leading to the highest child poverty rates in the nation, right in the heart of its most heavily populated geographic area of the state, Detroit.

This is the only highly functioning think tank in Michigan and I was right there when it first started.

I also used to write the policies for the Michigan Democratic Party Platform, which is another organization just as dysfunctional when it comes to representing the interests of the people by ignoring the issues of children, who cannot vote nor give them campaign contributions.

The Mackinac Center did not originally start out to be such a chattel ranching organization of human capital.  It was an eager group of older gentlemen, lacking in melanin, who came together to organize the legislative side of government as the Legislative Council was, and still is, in complete disarray, and still is to this day.

Even the Michigan Constitution is a completely unorganized document which is currently choking on

The Michigan Constitution
and its amendments

its own distortion of Jenga-style amendments.

The majority of socio-economic policies of Michigan are so haphazardly constructed that they are disjointed beyond a nascent semblance of ever being implemented in the best interests of the people.

Jack McHugh was a fun guy when he lead the construction of Michigan Votes.  I want to say it was the first of its kind in providing the public access to the legislative process of voting.

So, I am not coming down to destroy the entire organization because there has been great good done, I am just saying the statement about fighting corporate welfare in Michigan is just a fraudulent statement.

How can one "fight corporate welfare" when it was in support of "Right to Work" policies which shifted the obligations of worker pay from the corporations to SNAP, Medicaid and tax write off food banks, by lowering wages, cutting hours, and creating dying-wage jobs, as opposed to living-wage jobs?

Then, how can one "fight" corporate welfare when the Mackinac Policy Center generated the talking points to eliminate the Michigan Business Tax and EITC.

How can you honestly keep promoting policies of poverty, when, in doing so you change the basic equilibrium of supply and demand?

If people do not make money, then how do they purchase your goods or is the plan to generate a cheap domestic labor workforce for exportation, reaping another layer of corporate subsidies in tax aversive behaviors?

I sincerely believe there was a typo and the statement should read as "working for corporate welfare".

Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©
