What can we do to get Michigan's economy going again?

Question

The schools are not going to have art classes, or the music departments, or even 4H. Should we get China to invade Michigan?

Answer 1

One of the first things I would suggest it stop giving tax cuts to companies that opt out for cheaper labor in other countries. I don't think we should be paying them to leave. They are after all putting a strain on the states social services. Sure the companies pay unemployment insurance. But that lasts for only so long.
I saw where a fella who ran for Governor here in Michigan, got paid by the whole country to move a plant into China. He eliminated 1400 jobs. His political response was how he bought other companies that amounted to no job creation. In other words he did not hire 1400 people to fill positions in those comapnies to keep a larger burden off from the state. Nope, fellas like him are not increasing the standard of living in those countries that he has moved a plant into. He is exploiting them, for their cheap labor, while neglecting his foundation. When the state next hears from his kind it is now with the threat of moving more jobs elswhere. Simply because guys like him are fake capitalists. How can I claim that guys like this are fake capitalists, you might ask? It is because the least populated places on earth (Pitcairn Islands with 42 people) would have a Walmart and one of his Amway plants. Throwing in a McDonalds just to crowd the place.

Answer 2
