This is only anecdotal…but judging by the number of comments — and their extreme level of vitriol — to a Detroit Free Press profile of Democrat Speaker Andy Dillon, public anger over the recently enacted income and service tax increases is higH, hiGH, HIGH.

The Freep ran the profile today, and you can read it here. I won’t go into it. It’s mostly a puff piece about Young Andy and the turmoil he endured to increase taxes in Michigan. If we were in a locker room, I would replace “puff piece” with a more appropriate epitaph.

But what is worth reading is the reader reaction to the piece. So far, there are 158 comments left on the Freep’s website — the most, by several multiples, of any other story — all but a handful are critical of Dillon, and most of them very much so. You can jump right to the comments here. I think the Democrats misread public sentiment on this one.
