I'm relieved and encouraged to see that even those with libertarian leanings recognize that Steve Wynn is full of crap. People who think that government doesn't improve the standard of living should go live in Somalia for a while.

Breitbart.tv » Steve Wynn Schools Michigan Governor on How to Create Jobs

Wynn ate Granholm alive, plain and simple. He may have gone overboard in some areas (with the comments about Government never having assisted living standards), but his point that lower taxes and less Government being beneficial were correct. He was also right that, as the Government continues to grow and accumulate debt left and right, it is poor and middle class people being hurt (along with others). When employers are taxed and regulated more, they have smaller payrolls. Wynn has been in business for a long time and employed hundreds of thousands of people in the private sector. Granholm touted minimum wage hikes, which COST jobs. What a moron; it's crazy how well respected she is in the media after driving her state down the tubes.
