Stop Demonizing the Poor and Immigrants
On May 21st, more than 600 people marched and rallied in Portland against proposed
cuts to General Assistance for asylum seekers and refugees in Maine.
Our right-wing Gov. Paul LePage continues to demonize the poor and immigrants in Maine - blaming them for our economic problems which is pure nonsense.
Corporations in Maine get hundreds of millions of dollars each year in state tax breaks but sadly few ever mention that fact. Corporate welfare makes support for the poor and immigrants look like peanuts.
