Concerned Taxpayers of Michigan – Seven Reasons to Vote NO on Raising the Michigan Sales Tax

Concerned Taxpayers of Michigan – Seven Reasons to Vote NO on Raising the Michigan Sales Tax
7 Reasons to Vote “NO” on Raising the Sales Tax to 7%

1. We can't afford even higher taxes. Michigan residents already pay among the highest gas taxes in the country, and most of that money isn't even spent on roads. We pay a 4.25% state income tax where other states have no income tax. The ballot proposal would raise the Michigan sales tax to 7%, which would make it the 2nd highest state sales tax in the nation.


Sources:"Gas tax 101: Why Michiganders pay high gas taxes for crummy roads," Detroit Free Press, December 2, 2014.
"Top State Income Tax Rates in 2014," Tax Foundation, April 24, 2014.
"If Sales Tax is Passed, Michigan Would Have the Second Highest in the U.S.," Michigan Capitol Confidential,December 26, 2014.

The proposal would raise taxes about $200 per year for every man, woman, and child in Michigan. $800 for a family of four.
