You know, people in this state cry about taxes, state spending, excessive payroll in the government and too many laws and tax laws – which break the state laws in themselves – but what do people do? They vote the cause of it all back into office: Baldacci.

I really wonder how much crime is in our government. It seems they can do no wrong, but if we so much as buy a carton of cigarettes from out of state, Maine charges us $2 tax per carton and 25 percent interest on the balance.

How can they do this?
