Breaking the spell of Democrat propaganda, former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who is currently running for a seat in Maine’s Second Congressional District, exposed how the left is trying to keep American taxpayers in “economic shackles.”
For context, across the country, Americans are waking up to the disastrous economic policies of the Democrats. Even in blue areas, such as the District LePage is vying for, normal Americans are sick of high taxes and woke insanity.
In any case, LePage began his May 18, 2025, remarks by explaining his relationship to his voters. He began, “Well, you know, my whole thing is about representing those who pay the taxes. They’re the boss,” he said, discussing his philosophy and giving an example of one of the moves me made in having pictures on EBT cards.”
Describing more about the controversial program. The Maine Republican explained, “That was a move to affect the drug industry, because what was happening in our state is people would give their EBT cards to the drug dealers, and they would get their drugs, and when their card was loaded, you know, at the beginning of the month, the money would be gone between 2 and 4 a.m. in the morning.”
Providing additional context, he revealed, “And I come to the conclusion that very few mothers are buying baby formula two to four o’clock in the morning. So we decided put pictures on the EBT cards, and from October 2015 until I left the governorship, we didn’t see any more EBT cards in drug busts.”
Speaking to how his experience will enable him to succeed in Washington, LePage added, “We can affect these, these issues. We can we work at it. I want to go to Washington, and one of the things I think that I tried to do in Maine — which I failed because of the Democrats — is to put a tiered system in our welfare program.”
Concluding his remarks with an epic takedown of the Democrats, LePage said, “In other words, so many people, you want to give them a 25 cent increase in pay, and they can’t take it because they’ll lose all their benefit. I want to put a tiered system in so they can work their way out of poverty. And by having a tiered system, you know, you take 20 percent, they get $1. You take 20 cents off their benefits, and you keep doing that five times in their middle income, they get out of poverty. But for some reason it’s all or nothing with Democrats,” adding, “I call it economic shackles.”
