LANSING, Mich. ? Republican Governor Rick Snyder faces recall threats and angry protests over his attempt to do what no Michigan governor has tried in more than 40 years: tax the pension and other retirement income of millions of retirees.

i never understood why pension /retirement income should be tax free.
when you work for it should be taxed, but once you stop working for it should be free
it not like government services suddenly become free for retired people
and as people start living longer and longer, that negative drain is only going to get worse
why shouldn't retiree pay their share of the government services bill.
