Why doesn't he volunteer to pay the higher tax?

Or pay for the continued subsidies required to keep the train-to-nowhere running.

Could be interpreted as a threat.

“Maybe my next horror novel will star Rick Scott,”

Is King drinking again?

The wealthy very often enjoy greatly to spend other people’s money.

Hmm, if he was wealthy he’d be paying 35% federal tax

he must be extremely tax sheltered if his rate is 28%

hey axxhole StephenKing, drop all your deductions and tax shelters and pay a straight rate

and move to Maine, they “need” more of your money

I’m sure southerners just love it when Mass. liberals come down and do them the favor of telling them how to run their State.

No...King is a HUGE supporters of the left...always financed Democrats in Maine...wasn't aware he was stinking up Florida, as well.

Keep in mind King once purchased a radio station in Bangor and changed the talk radio format to a sports format; solely to get Rush Limbaugh off the air in central Maine. Natch; another station picked up Limbaugh almost immediately. A station with a MUCH STRONGER signal. :-)

I have a recurring nightmare that my next congressional representative looks like Steven King.

"King also said that while he is wealthy and paying 28 percent tax, he said that someone in his tax bracket should be paying 50 percent."

What's stopping him?

"Maybe my next horror novel will star Rick Scott," King told the 200 people at the rally.

If this is the best that King can do with a witty line, it looks like he should hang up the typewriter. I guess the car crash turned his mid to jello.

Also, what a turn out to see a celebrity. A whole 200 people. Wow!

Remember his fine comments on the military?

King is a F’n hypocrite.

He is a part time resident of Florida in order to avoid state income taxes of Maine....
