1) House Dems tax bill by Anonymous Citizen on February 11, 2008Too bad the Chamber is pushing for exactly those tax breaks for the big boys from out of state, while small Maine businesses get squeezed.
When the Taxation Committee reported out unanimous (except for one Dem) support for a tax reform bill last spring, the Chamber and the Rs squashed it like a bug.

The comment is right on the money, the sad fact is, Maine is driving businesess out of State and more importantly, create such an atmosphere, no one wants to subject themselves to doing business in Maine.

The difference between Maine and New Hampshire is; Maine picks certain companies or industries that they like and then proceeds to give them tax breaks. The companies that don’t make the nice list are saddled with paying the extra taxes. New Hampshire, on the other hand, has decided not to pick favorites and simply has a low tax rate for everyone. Stop manipulating the masses via tax policy and vote for low taxes for everyone!
