Like most of the states in the US, the Governor of Michigan want to tax pensions.  And, of course, some people do not like the idea.

One poor woman was lamenting that she had just purchased a new house and a new truck and could not possible afford the new tax.

Now, if you tell me that you can’t afford to pay your utility bills or buy groceries, I will feel sorry for you.  But, some how, a new house and a new truck just doesn’t illicit visions of poverty.

I suppose some people will complain that the new tax will force them to drink domestic champagne!
