Just go away

With a lot of fanfare, a group called Michigan Citizens for Tax Reform launched an online "petition" today in an effort to get people to send a message to Lansing that they don't want new taxes to replace the Single Business Tax that the last Legislature did away with. Organizers are claiming that Gov. Granholm has appointed a "Pro Tax Panel" that's going to fleece taxpayers. On the surface, this appears to be the kind of grassroots movement that has gathered steam and resulted in real change in Michigan over the years. Dig a little deeper and it appears that these Michigan Citizens are nothing but a bunch of has-been and sore-loser Republicans who are trying to stir the pot in Lansing.
There's nothing wrong with has-beens and sore losers, but when they parade about as if they have the interest of ordinary Joes at heart, it just makes me puke.
Speaking of puking, it appears that one of the "Ordinary Joes" behind this new "movement" is the likes of that binger and puker Matt Milosch, the sore-loser who was turned into a bonafide has-been by Kathy Angerer when she trounced his sorry ass in the last election.
What does it take to get the voters' message to some people that they should just go away. Not only is this disingenuous, it taints legitimate grassroots movements that might really have the interests of the state and its taxpayers at heart.
