#mepolitics It's time to get rid of Bruce Poliquin and put someone in that seat who will work for the best interests of all Mainers. cc @TiffanyBondhttps://twitter.com/SteveCollinsSJ/status/959781357781241857 …

Yeah that's not actually responsive to the question I asked. "--Is federal tax rate on folks who make $500K a yr too low? What rate would you prefer? Also estate tax."

I don't have an answer for you because the answer is "it depends". It depends on how we structure our corporate code. It depends on the overall budget. It depends on what makes the most sense on the priorities in any given year.

Sending legislators that deal in asbolutes on every single issue is a bad way to pick representatives because it forcloses negotiations and the possibility of novel solutions. For example, data might say a good tax scheme might include UBI, which would thoroughly alter the budget

Throwing out a random number for those over $500k doesn't help you. It's not a practical or realistic way to gauge how successful legislation will be. My priority is an equitable budget, but absent a working budget document I can't tell you the answer with any efficacy.

I've never seen a third party candidate win a platform of "it depends" but good luck with it!
