Loss of alimony deduction is taxing people for $ they earn but are legally prohibited from spending & must pass to a former spouse. It adds hardship to separated families, drives conflict, & will increase litigation. #mepolitics

Loss of moving expenses penalizes people who move for work when a company could deduct the same $. #mepolitics

Loss of student loan/tuition waivers severly hinders upward mobility in #Maine, where already so many cannot afford college. #mepolitics

It hits personal casualty losses, charitable contributions (which drive some amazing non-profits in #Maine), disincents employment, harms families with disabled members, I can keep going... #mepolitics

Basically, you're coming across as a defender of a complicated, expensive tax code that favors few. #mepolitics

Criticizing a bad tax plan isn’t defending the existing system. #logic #mepolitics

Defending each little itemized deduction while opposing reforms is what @TiffanyBond is doing. That IS defending existing system. #mepolitics

It's the same false logic that we saw with health care. We can make the system better but defunding Medicaid, which @RepPoliquin voted for, doesn't make the system better. #mepolitics
