the governor and the extreme right are trying to steal your vote


By adding a 3% surcharge to taxable income above $200,000, Maine schools stand to gain an additional $157 million for direct funding of classroom education.

Why is this “tax fairness”?

Right now in Maine, someone earning $40,000 per year has to pay the same top tax rate as someone making $1 million per year.

Maine’s wealthiest residents had their income taxes cut twice in recent years.
WELL gov. we could afford this if you hadn't given such massive tax cuts to the wealthy. To me and many of our fellow Mainers this is a statement that our vote doesn't count. And we no longer live in a democracy ; where one man one vote is the law and majority rules.
