M T of ME Maine and Mass have almost even unemployment rates 4.5 and 5 respectively. I've lived in Mass and CT, I know the lifestyle of the city. I know and have worked to help the people that live off the system. You can try and make yourself sound all high and mighty, but you are not and neither is MA or CT. They are not different, regardless of the "programs" the states have implemented.

BTW: Take a look at the violent crime rate while you are at it. How often are you afraid to walk down the street in Portland, compared to Boston?report abuse
