Past and present Governor candidates from Michigan: on Corporations


Gretchen Whitmer: Government can help small business thrive

To grow our economy, we must invest in small business incubators so that entrepreneurs have access to workspace, mentors, and capital, and we must build stronger partnerships between businesses and community colleges.

Gretchen Whitmer: Shift tax burden to corporations

On taxation: "Let's be clear, everyone knows that in Michigan right now, we are making the poorest folks pay and we have to stand up to corporations that are demanding these huge tax loopholes and make sure they're paying their fair share and then make sure we're investing that into things like schools and infrastructure," El-Sayed said.

Mark Schauer: Build economy that works for everyone--not just the wealthy

Rick Snyder's economy has produced one of the nation's worst unemployment rates, falling wages, increased poverty, and a shrinking middle class. Gov. Snyder has raised taxes on senior citizens' retirement earnings and on low-income working parents. He has also made deep cuts to education, leading to widespread teacher layoffs and higher tuition costs, which amount to a hidden tax on middle-class families.

Mark understands what the economy looks like not just to corporate CEOs, but to the hard-working Michiganders who make our economy tick. Growing up, Mark saved for college with his paper route, pumping gas, and flipping burgers.

As Governor, Mark will work to build an economy that works for everyone--not just the wealthy and the special interests.
