Here's some facts 🧵 #mepolitics
1. Tax flight is a myth. Wealthy people have deep roots, and study after study prove that taxes don't drive interstate relocation. Here's one from Maine. #mepolitics mecep.org/wp-content/upl…
2. Trickle-down economics don't work. They never have. There's dozens of studies on this. Here's a story on one, from LSE. #mepolitics washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
3. In fact, the opposite is true. States that raised taxes do as well or better than neighboring states, including those that cut taxes. #mepolitics cbpp.org/research/state…
I could go on and on. The real question: Will The Chamber ever update its disproven talking points?
