South Portlander Campaigns Against Tax Law

Albert A. DiMillo Jr., Retired Corporate Tax Director, CPA & Life-Long Democrat

Editor's Note: This is an excellent piece, Robert. I'm adding some text from its opening paragraph. Doing so, I hope, will prompt more people to read Mr. DiMillo's piece.

"Unlike my representative, I have spent over 300 hours analyzing the details of the law. The following are the statements made in the Legislative Update and the real facts that prove the statements are all false:"

I would love to see him debate this with any of the liberals in Augusta.

They simple will not debate us on this because they know that this bill is a loser.

Last summer at the Windsor fair, when Seth and co. were passing out fliers and interupting signers, I asked one of them to explain one thing to me - what about the 300,000 mainers who don't file income tax but will still have to pay the new sales taxes? We know that at best, only 1/2 of them will file to get their "credit."
Her answer - We're going to go door-to-door to get every single Mainer to file.

When other points are brought up, their answers are along the line of, "No sahah." Or, "liar liar pants on fire."

You can see why they wouldn't want to debate this in public.

Where is the YES on 1 Campaign?
The website looks like a teaparty promotion and all the local support gives you a Maine GOP email address.
I hope the people who ran the TABOR campaign are not running this one as well.

The campaign needs money to get the message out. See this thread - http://www.asmainegoes.com/content/peoples-veto-golf-tournament
