This week, Maine instituted an additional 2% tax on millionaires. They follow in the footsteps of other commie states such as California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington. Of course, it was the Democrats doing this, and of course, the majority of the articles ‘reporting’ the heist frame it as a noble endeavor.
Maine representative, Cheryl Golek, who sponsored the original legislation, said, “I just started overwhelmingly crying when I found out because this bill takes a step toward tax fairness that people of Maine have been asking for for many years. I am extremely happy for what it will bring to the people of Maine.”
Golek claims that, “A person who’s making $65,000 right now is paying the same effective tax rate as a millionaire. We’re talking nurses, firefighters, lobstermen, EMTs — and that’s just so wrong on so many levels.”
You notice that she says ‘the same effective tax rate as a millionaire’ and not the same amount of money. If I make $50,000 and pay a 10% tax rate, I pay $5000 in taxes. If a millionaire makes $1,000,000 and pays a 10% tax rate, they pay $100,000 in taxes. So the millionaire is already paying $95,000 dollars more in taxes than the lower-income worker. But that’s not good enough. It never is for the Democrats, whose path to power is always paved by dividing people and pitting them against each other. They do it based on income level, race, and sex. They don’t give a damn if the divisiveness is bad for the country as long as it benefits them. They are truly evil.
As with all these bills, the little people will never see any of the money. It will mostly go to government workers, who are the Democrats’ foot soldiers. They’ll get bigger pay increases and better pensions while the average person will continue to get fleeced.
My comment on one of the articles was as follows: ‘If someone stops me in the street and steals my wallet, they can raise $50 dollars in two minutes. It doesn’t make it right.’
