Dear Editor:

I want my EBT.

Never ending cycles of dependency.

A famous carpenter from Nazareth once said, “The poor will always be with you.”

Minority leaders in Congress eagerly solidify prophecy.

You and I work longer and harder as our societal responsibility grows daily. Maine used to be known as a land of the people of rugged individualism. Now, nearly one third of us collect some form of government subsistence.

The Nazarene healed under the tyranny of Caesar. Today, the multitudes refuse to be healed. We have created and are feeding our own elected tyrants.
