Michigan Dems Want Ipod In Every Backpack

Michigan Democrats are sure spending a lot of taxpayer's money. Remember that Michigan is facing a $1 Billion budget deficit. But let's spend more money... How would you like to be taxed on these treats?
  • An Ipod or MP3 player for every student
  • A better downtown area for every major city
  • Michigan would cover 50% of catastrophic health insurance policy for everyone in the state.
How are the Democrats in Michigan going to pay for these extras?
  • Raising the income tax
  • Levying a 6 percent tax on some services
  • Taxing junk food and soda
  • Umm, they haven't said yet?
Oh that makes sense. Come on Michiganites, have another Coke and bag of chips. Those students need Ipods!

The iPOD might be a more effective teaching tool than wasting tax money on unreadable textbooks and awful staff development. No one thinks the state should give an iPOD to a kid to listen to his/her music, but rather it could be a more effective and cost effective teaching tool than spending 70$ a book x 7 classes over a 4 year period.
