Just take a look at Lansing!  I know... shock.  Awe.  Something positive in the Capitol City.  The Associated Press reports on yesterday's Senate action that saw the Republican majority back up their tough talk by actually passing legislation to roll back the Democrats' massive 22% surcharge on the Michigan Business Tax.

The move delighted the business community and garnered some Democratic votes, too. The unresolved question: How to offset the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for state government?

The legislation passed 26-12 and was sent across the Capitol to the Democratic-led House. A spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm said she would be open to Michigan Business Tax adjustments if they were "pared with reforms that can save the state money..."

Senate Democrats accused the Republican majority of "shooting from the hip..."

Shooting from the hip?  Let's put it in those terms, then... Michigan is in a fight to save jobs.  To keep jobs.  To create jobs.  It's a 50 state royal rumble.  Everyone's competing for the same slice of the pie and things are turning ugly.  Bullets are whizzing by on the left and on the right, to the north and the south and local jobs keep getting killed.  

The onrushing hordes are closing in around us and picking off our job makers one by one.  We have job creation weapons at our disposal but the Democrats have holstered them and snapped them in tight.  A couple of times they've pushed them so hard into the holster they've actually gone off and fired a round or two into our own feet.  

And now that the GOP (and several of their own lefty members) vote to return fire the Democrats are upset about the way they're doing it?  Hey, shoot from the hip, the toes or the top of your pointy little liberal heads.  For the love of Pete, just return fire!  Defend Michigan jobs!
