Maine has the lowest income per capita of all states, yet Maine has the HIGHEST taxes. Approximately 80% of Real Estate taxes go to supporting a school system that is mismanaged and possibly fraudulent, yet they have the gall to add even more taxes via a "surcharge" to the phone bills, titled: Schools & Libraries.
Additionally, each and every year vehicle owner must pay a fee for owning a vehicle..!! This charge is based on the age of the vehicle, regardless of it's condition or use... If you buy a vehicle from a friend for a cheap price, the state doesn't care what you "actually" paid for it. They charge a sales tax according to THEIR opinion..! Talk about a gun to your head..!!
The State Government say's they support our military service members and veterans, yet give NO real support for their disabled veterans in either licensing of vehicles or property taxes.
Time for another "tea party"!!!
