Why is the MI FairTax better than our current system?
Our present tax system is one of the reasons the next generation may not have a standard of living as high as this generation. The MI FairTax stops the practice of punishing productive behaviors (work, saving, investing, etc.) which is done today by taxing these desired behaviors. It also removes taxes and tax-compliance costs from the prices of Michigan produced products, making Michigan labor and business more competitive. Furthermore, it stops the buying and selling of tax favors that currently corrupts our representative form of government.
