Re: [Michlib-l] big box stores gaming the tax system

I'm not sure that this is an issue we can solve as consumers. Corporate entities are only behaving like corporate entities when they seek out lower taxes. Tax tribunals, on the other hand, should be considering how lost revenues will effect the good of the state when they allow corporations huge property tax breaks as if they were closed and pay back tax money to them that has already been spent. The state should be considering the good of populace, and they aren't doing that when they decide not to collect taxes from profitable businesses. So I think it is up to us as citizens, not us as consumers, to try to find the answer to this problem. We need to voice our concern to the politicians that appoint the tribunals and the politicians who create the laws that regulate corporations. And in order to get their attention, we need to broadcast our outrage so that everyone understands what is going on here. Ellen Moore Peter White Public Library Marquette
