Maine has the weirdest taxes ever. They’ve had or have this beverage tax, there as a snack tax, there’s a tax on puppies and kittens, etc. I mean, the tax people there must not give a damn about PR.
Maine is a formerly great state, still a beautiful place but one that has been utterly destroyed by moonbats from New York and Massachusetts. Maine now has the highest tax per capita burden in the country - worse than California. The Liberal Locusts fell in love with L.L. Bean’s duck boots but decided that two of the state’s core industries - logging and fishing - were evil and had to be stopped. And as farming has declined to be profitable (thank Congress for effectively subsidizing foreign competitors), the native-born population has declined relative to the influx of non-native loons. I like the original loons better. I still hope to retire in Maine, but it’s going to take a lot of “cleansing” first.
