You're right. Most are only one late payment and a bullet from losing their homes.

Got surprised by a person who lived here for a few years and moved back to Mich. when he told me he works with 1,000 cows (dairy) on 2,000 acres of land. When I ask him no bull and he said that is correct.

So what does Google opening an office in Michigan have to do with the link you posted?

The other day I'm working here in Miss. and I hear on the radio Michigan trying to get Mississippi businesses to leave the south and move north. What a crock of b.s. Michigan is in worse shape than I thought. First off we (they) have a Governness who is a Canadian-born woman who's also a Democrat---a recipe for disaster. Instead of giving existing businesses a tax break to jump start the economy, she has given those tax breaks to OTHER outsiders. Which at best is a temporary stop-gap measure.

Earthwrks - I hear ya. So they need tax breaks to get businesses to move in to replace the ones that left because they didn't get tax breaks to stay. Yep, that's government for ya. Full of political logic.

It sure would be good if only Michigan politicians did such. Was right proud of our county council a few months ago. We have a large local lumber company who ask for a tax break so they could afford some updating they needed to make. The council went on record as how many jobs this company provided, how they had never asked for such before, how they were such a stable employer and granted the request. Which I thought was very proper.

Just a few weeks later, the news was they had been bought by Murf, (just kidding there)no really were bought by a Canadian Com. but still felt the council did what was right.

It seem businesses are playing one state off another to get the tax breaks. EW don't look too hard at the jobs purchased by the state in MS or AL. I can't remember how much each job was in Canton for Nissan, but it was not cheap.
I was working on a business plan with a friend that placed the components to manufacture steel building structures in shipping containers. We were thinking of being able to relocate the plant to where the construction was needed like in Southern MS with Katrina. Never thought of getting all the tax breaks from the state and then packing up the containers and moving on.

Did you notice the ad for "Michigan Foreclosure List"? Maybe they need more tax breaks.

It is even more than just one state vs. another. It can vary a good bit from one county to the next or one part of a big city to another.

I knew a business that went bankrupt just north of me, moved two counties south (mind you in daily communte)to receive tax break and to be announed as this great NEW company to save that county by our then DUMB governor. THey were to dumb to realize it was same ownership, same business organization, same product, same management, but a new name. Oh well, who said politicans have common sense. Doubt many have a cut either. By the way. The new company went bankrupt also. Due to same dumb owner.
