In a year or two, once the auto manufacturers finish leaning out, and our business tax system is streamlined and lowered we'll be back in bidniss again.
Grampster, if you believe a single word of that, I've got some lovely oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you at a very good price.
I left Michigan in 1980 when unemployment in the Upper Peninsula was at least 35%. That was all the state was willing to admit to, though it was probably higher. The Detroit area kept sucking up the rest of the state's tax dollarsand still does. The automobile manufacturers were accustomed to running the state their way, and probably still are.
Michigan still has firearms registration, insituted after the 1967 Detroit race riots. It's called the "safety inspection" scheme, but it's plain old-fashioned registration.
The last time I visited that state, in 2002, the highways were mostly pot holes laced together with bits of crumbling concrete.
Monkeyleg, I think you'd probably be happier in the United States. I'm sure there are many states that would be worthier of you than poor old Wisconsin.

WTF, over?
I left the People's Republik of Kalifornia in August of 1999, with the majority of my 100+ gun collection now being illegal there.
Florida was nice for a gun owner, but nearly impossible to live in after the hurricanes hit us and insurance rates went through the roof.
I moved back to Wisconsin, and love taunting the barking moonbats that populate Madison and Milwaukee. It's nice, though, because I can head out into the countryside and find a return to more conservative values.
Property taxes here suck, that much is true. But cry me a river after you've been someplace like the PRK, etc.
