Maine–the way life should be.
If you think the voters have a right to know exactly how their tax dollars are being spent, why not make the tax returns of every individual and corporation in the state public? After all, we have a right to know who’s benefiting from deductions and tax credits, right? I’m sure that idea would go over very well with the voters.

Has he thought about the patches like the ones shown on WGN?

Since the Democrats control the Legislature, I think it’d be a great idea for them to amend Mayor McDickface’s bill and add in the proviso of at least corporate tax returns being made public…as well as a clause distinctly waiving severability so that when a random dickfaced judge overturns the law, it dumps everything including the welfare list.

IDEA:
They can call it “The Scarlet Letter” registry. You know, to give it an Historical context.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage ® has signaled that he may not support Macdonald’s bill to create a registry.
You’re telling me this guy is too nutty for LEPAGE?

No doubt, there are some Mainers on welfare who think this is a great idea. It wouldn’t affect them but you know, those “others.”
Because, after all, “Some White people are going to get harmed, but if it’s for the good of Maine businesses, that’s the way it is,” he said.

“I hope this makes people think twice about applying for welfare.”
Or…
“I hope this makes people think twice about feeding their kids.”
Or…
“I hope this makes people think twice about paying for electricity. Or water. Because the poors should be dirty and smelly, amirite?”
Or, put most simply…
“Fsck the poors.”
The Pope is in town. I’ll end the rant against miserable human beings here.

Will it include Corporate-Americans?

Isn’t it part of a mayor’s job to attract jobs so able-bodied people can work and not be on welfare? So what is he saying about his job performance?

That’s it! I’m trashing the LL Bean Christmas catalogs. They might carry the Maine fruitcake virus.

According to him and those like him, there are TONS of jobs out there, including Maine. Waiting for hard working Americans to fill them. It’s just that the glamour of being on welfare is so enticing that it makes getting a job look like such a drag, man! See, once the list gets put up and people are SHAMED INTO GETTING A JOB, then welfare will no longer have its - um, “glamour.”
Problem solved.

Oh, and then there’s this:
Additionally, we will be submitting a bill similar to one in Massachusetts, prohibiting the state from paying benefits for any additional child born after the recipient has been accepted into General Assistance.
So, go over there and be dirty and smelly and poor. And abstinent, too, because we don’t want any more of your rugrats littering the place.
Filled with the milk of human kindness, this one is. Sheesh.

Tatoos. Maybe on the forearm. That way we can identify them on the street.

I’m… not… sure.
No need, the targets of this fukker’s hate don’t need the tattoo, one can see the color of their skin from even farther away.
Let’s see - all those on government assistance. I suspect it would be easier to publish a list of those who receive absolutely no government assistance. Please Mr. Mayor, please go back to counting your pennies.
