I wouldn’t mind paying a couple of dollars more in taxes if the revenue would actually go to helping the needy, including immigrants, especially traumatized children.
Besides, who will replenish our waning workforce now that the baby boomers are retiring? Who will maintain our farm lands, factories, hospitals, etc.?
The millions wasted on inconsequential contracts, a new copper dome, even a race car far surpass any savings Gov. Paul LePage claims from cutting benefits and raising requirements for the less fortunate; cuts to municipalities where more investment is needed; denying the elderly affordable health care; wanting “tax free zones.”
A person earning a specified amount no longer qualifies for particular social programs, but the other “person,” Mr. Corporation can make unlimited profits and retain tax cuts and subsidized support.
Candidates need to discuss these issues. LePage is not best candidate for governor.
