Rick Snyder on Social Security

 

 


Maintain generous pension benefits for existing retirees

It is important to leave retirement pensions as they are for our citizens age 67 and older. Upon passage of this plan, Michigan will have the 14th best income tax--and the 8th most generous treatment of retirement income--among states with income taxes.

The new Individual Income Tax plan will provide for long-term structural stability in the budget while minimizing the impact on current senior citizens.
