Universal Childcare and Homecare
Context
Middle-aged, working class Mainers face dramatically declining economic insecurity. This is quite literally leading to a loss of life equivalent to the US AIDS epidemic. Meanwhile, state policy makers have little in the policy toolkit that can match the scale of this crisis.

Use the income tax in Maine to ensure that
•The bottom 70% of income earners in Maine receive a substantial tax reduction of $500-1,200 a year.
•The wealthiest 10% in Maine have an overall effective tax rate on average just 5% more than the poorest Mainers do now.
This should raise the approximately $1.5 billion necessary to fund the Fair Share Economy, including:
•Directly creating 10,000 jobs
•Universal free pre-k
•Fully funding local schools
•Free tuition for the University of Maine and Community College systems.
