I believe student tax credits should be equal to the subsidies that Farmers in the State of Michigan receive for set asides,  taking their land off the tax rolls so it will not be "developed" or getting paid by the State & Feds to plant or not plant specific crops amongst the many, many other programs that John Q. Public do not even know about.  Add to that all of the local governments that refuse to consolidate services to protect their "fiefdoms" and continue to give themselves raises using appointed compensation commissions while other people are losing their jobs or getting their hours cut.  There was an advertisement on TV in the early 70's, "To get a good job, you need a good education",  promoting people going to college.  Due to our agricultural & industrial job base in this State at that time, and really to this date,  statistics & studies show that Michigan falls in the lower end of the "educated workforce" scale.  Give the students the tax credit or give them a job... then go after the real people that are "fleecing" the taxpayers of this State.
