Dear concerned sports/entertainment fan:
After taxing our income, our homes and our purchases, the
politicians in Lansing want to tax Michigan's favorite
pastime - the sports and entertainment industry. I am asking
you to stand up with me to SACK THE TICKET TAX.
If enacted, the ticket tax would impose a six-percent, $100
million per year sales tax on not only professional and
college sports tickets, but on music, movie and
entertainment tickets.
I will deliver the signatures I receive on this Web site to
the governor personally, telling her we intend to
SACK THE
TICKET TAX.
This terrible idea would severely damage the sporting and
entertainment industry here in Southeast Michigan, as it is
a direct attack against the things Michiganians enjoy most:
the Tigers, Red Wings, Lions, Pistons, movies, concerts,
etc.
It is unfair and unacceptable to push even more taxes on
families and workers and I have serious concerns about the
repercussions such a tax could bring.
These taxes are being called a 'luxury tax,' when it really
is a quality of life tax. Every day the news is
discouraging, covering the ever-increasing budget deficit,
the rising unemployment rate and war. Sports and
entertainment provide a positive diversion. This isn't a tax
on luxury; it's a tax on our fun and the Michigan way of
life. . . THIS MUST BE STOPPED!
Please fill out my online petition to SACK THE TICKET TAX
and tell Lansing politicians NO.
Together we can stop the ticket tax.
Sincerely,
State Rep. David Law
West Bloomfield, Commerce Township |
