Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

This place got really boring & wouldn't stop showing my cute feelgood clips & false repeat notifications, so I went back to the other place. Now that place is 10x the cesspool it was even a few months ago, so now I'm back here. Seems like this place has lost a lotta juice.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”
