It’s past time for working Michiganders to receive an income tax cut.
In 2007, policymakers hiked the income tax rate from 3.9% to 4.35%. That increase was supposed to rollback beginning in 2011, but like most “temporary” tax hikes it became permanent.
Currently, there are nine states that do not tax work and seven states that do not tax any income. Michigan can become more economically competitive and reward hard work by allowing households to keep more of their own money.
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.”
– Thomas Jefferson
