Muskie, MTX, 72-2-30, 30 seconds. We need, in addition in this country, to more fairly distribute the burden of taxes. We find tax resistance all across this country, at the local level and at the federal level. Why? It isn't because people don't want good schools. It isn't because people don't want to build good communities. But it's because they perceive that the tax burden is not spread fairly.
