Maine: Baldacci to put own plan on list of tax overhaul proposals ~ Look Out!

Stick it to the tourist this year between May and October.  Pass the word!

Stick it to our tourist again!  Can't smoke in Maine plus their vacations in this state will cost even more with taxes.

May through October is STICK IT TO THE TOURIST AGAIN season!

Thank you Rep. Sean Faircloth, D-Bangor!  You are such a RAT!

Rep. Sean Faircloth, D-Bangor, suggests hiking taxes on beer, wine, bar drinks and cigarettes, boosting the meals and lodging tax during the months of May through October, establishing a soft drinks tax and raising the income level at which the highest marginal rate would apply.

Or this idiot's statement:

Rep. John Eder, a Green party lawmaker from Portland, would apply the sales tax to tourism-related categories and direct new revenue toward targeted property tax relief.

Hey the flat-landers have to pay for something don't they, how do they expect LL Bean and tom's toothpaste to keep for MPR and MPTV?

Well, Maine has arguably the highest tax burden *in the country*. The Dims have been excusing that by saying that it is mostly out-of-staters that are bearing the brunt of that - with sales tax, meals tax and high property taxes on waterfront vacation homes.

Well, that argument doesn't sound too good now!
