Won’t people think that the Michigan FairTax unfairly shifts the burden of taxation from businesses to the individual taxpayers?
Our Founding Fathers had to deal with “Taxation without representation”. Today we have to deal with “Taxation with misrepresentation”. Businesses don’t pay taxes, people do. People realize that businesses pass taxes along to the consumers who purchase their goods and services. The higher business taxes are in Michigan the more difficult it is for businesses trying to operate in this state and be competitive. The MI FairTax removes Michigan taxes and tax compliance costs from prices. The improved competitiveness will attract employers to Michigan and provide jobs.
