Protesters voice anger over tax bill outside Susan Collins’ Bangor home
BDN ^ | December 10, 2017 | Meg Haskell, BDN Staff

About 20 protesters gathered outside Sen. Susan Collins’ Bangor home midday Sunday to voice their opposition to the sweeping Republican tax reform bill and Collins’ vote in favor of it.

Carrying signs reading “Shame,” “No Tax Cut for Fat Cats,” “Don’t Trickle on Me” and other slogans, the protesters formed a long line along the edge of the road, attracting occasional honks of support from drivers passing through the quiet neighborhood.

e people still don't understand that these wealthy folks are paying over 40% of the income into the kitty while the little guys are paying maybe 10%.

So lets be equitable and everyone pay 25%.

People are just plain ignorant.

Many years ago I learned..."Give a poor man a dollar and he'll spend it. Give a rich man a dollar and he'll turn it into two.

I read somewhere that Trump signed a CR on Friday. Haven’t seen anything else about it.

Aren’t these the same people Collins has been kissing up to all these years?

Everybody, makers and takers need to spend 40% of their working hours as slaves to the gov’t. THAT would be fair. It’s not the money, it’s the time subtracted from our personal allotment.

"About 20 protesters gathered "... "the protesters formed a long line".

Rent-a-mob strategically targeted at a wobbly Republican.

Nothing genuine at all here.

14 years old? Exactly how many tax filings has this person done? It probably won’t be until another 7-8 years-—IF THEN—that this snowflake will have to file a Federal 1040.

Since all these morons seem to be getting all their information from social media, it sure makes sense that they don’t know a damn thing.

I keep telling them: You are entitled to your own opinion-—BUT you are NOT entitled to your own set of facts !!

So now they’re protesting at people’s homes? Seems like a trend, and a bad one. How long before they feel they can protest INSIDE people’s home?

The Progressive-Facists doing what their political cousins, the Nazi “brown shirts”, did in Germany in their putsch for power - using intimidation.

That was my understanding.

This "matter" would seem to be the big Real NewsTM of the day/weekend.

15,000 people show up at a Trump rally - crickets.

However 20 smelly protestors alert their Journo-List friends about a lame leftie “demonstration” and it gets wall to wall coverage.

OK, here is it is: The Ballad of the Twenty Bangor Sisters

There were some young ladies of Maine
Who declared they had Trump on the brain.
.. But you knew from the view
.. Of their waists, as they grew,
It was not on their brains that he’d lain.

harrumph harrumph ... President Trump is so virile, he can yell `Booyah!’ to a crowd and kindle fertile wymen.

Naturally Rats would see cats as the enemy, fat or skinny. They suspect the fat cats got that way by eating rats.

The haters, the dissenters .. I don’t think they know squat about anything they are angry about. They hear things and grow an opinion on hearsay.. and so happens the hate media is what they hear... and I don’t think they watch the news, I think they get their opinions word of mouth.... or with their head in their phones and get the gossip. It would be too much work for them to search out the truth.

The haters at her house either don’t pay taxes or believe the lie... or both.

When they give out Trump’s approval numbers, it’s so filled with biased error that it’s a wonder he has any approval with what the media feeds out in their false reports. if they treated Trump like they did obama, Trump would be way up there. In actuality, he has much higher numbers than they report... they must poll Washington DC for their results.
