445,074 Mainers paid state income tax, while 453,194 received some sort of state aid.

Maine has hit the golden ratio. Bye-bye Mr. LePage and Maine Republicans!

As I recall he was elected with a plurality of the vote, not a majority. It would be interesting to look at a map of where the parasite class is concentrated in Maine, if anywhere. Also, keep in mind, many of them don’t vote at all. Aroostook County is largely very poor but also votes GOP.

That's why lefties always want mandatory voting and other "participatory democracy" schemes. The truth is that Republicans only get elected at all because so many welfare slugs are too lazy to even vote.
