Welfare Recipients Just Received The Worst News Of Their Life According to recent reports, Mayor Robert Macdonald of Lewiston, Maine has just proposed that the name of welfare recipients be public knowledge. Macdonald recently commented on the issue as follows: In Maine there is a website that lists the pension amounts received by everyone who is issued a monthly check by the State of Maine. No privacy here because this is being paid out by the State; accordingly, taxpayers have a right to know. Yet other recipients of state revenues are shielded. Yes, I am referring to those known as welfare recipients. Why are they treated differently than pensioners? The answer: our liberal, progressive legislators and their social-service allies have made them a victimized, protected class. Its none of your business how much of your money they get and spend. Who are you to question it? Just shut up and pay! What do you think? Do you support holding welfare recipients accountable by releasing their names to the public? Or is this a violation of their rights?
