Where can I get numbers on starvation in Detroit and Flint?

[netmouse]

Is anyone studying poverty in Michigan? Or would these numbers show up in county 'cause of death' statistics? Is starvation an official cause of death? Possibly would hospitals and doctors have numbers on how many patients they've treated for malnutrition? (I'm guessing not unless someone was studying and tracking it)



As an aside, if you want to see real answers from the Obama campaign about how he'd deal with poverty and economic problems, some are posted on MOMocrats. So go read them. :)

Honestly, I would be fine if I lost that job. But it's not just tax preparers. That being said, I am in favor of simplifying the tax code, even if I am out of a job. But I think going to a flat tax rate and playing with the EITC isn't going to cut it. Not by a long shot. But yes, simplification, PLEASE. Make my job a little easier.

As an aside, I agree with that statement. One of the reasons I rather enjoy "The West Wing."

102k. Regardless, I've still not heard a good argument for why the cap can't be removed entirely.
