Eliza Williams of Waterville, ME And while he makes big bucks for himself, we pay more for the 'simple' (legal) things in life...like soda! And such other 'unneccessary frivolities', according to our legislators, to which they then deem worthy of assigning a higher tax rate. So who IS running this state? Obviously, people who can afford to pay for life's more simple pleasures and don't mind being sneaky in order to accomplish this. Hang the poor man who struggles, works, and still must pay through the snotty nose of even higher taxation.

Dirigo? IS necessary. Or some such healthcare plan. We do need to provide medical care for low/little/no income folks/families. But isn't there a more sensible way to do this? Find a way which doesn't further financially hurt those who need it. Don't tax food/drink stuffs and toilet paper! Come on, now.report abuse
