That's why Michigan business is moving out also. The only ones staying, or coming, are the ones that have all of these taxes, plus property taxes, waived and incentives added just like Reggie's. Sorry, I digress.
The only point you made was Michigan sucks more than Ohio.

Have you seen the tax breaks imigrants get??

You are mad because Reggie took advantage of Tax Breaks offered to him??

Yes. But it was a very good point.

That was the point, but the mid-west manufacturing states that used to get away with super high costs to manufacturers because of automotive etc., had better learn to change or the businesses will keep leaving.

Nope, not mad at all. I hope his company, including BAJA, succeeds. That 42' boat that holds the World Record for Vee's is an incredible accomplishment. My only (repeat only) gripe with Reggie is the ego-laden/BS/mis-information (ie; CatKiller) that he uses to promote his boats. But, it does give me something to try and improve my sarcastic and (hopefully) tastefully entertaining talents.
