Faster, better…

In Maryland the new Democrat Governor raised property taxes the maximum amount. School spending is out of control. My county is building a new community swimming pool and has already built a palatial new county library. Every kid in the county gets bussed to school. Maryland sales tax went up this year. Maryland enacted a NEW 6% so-called “millionaire’s tax” this year aimed solely at the successful people that have struggled to build business here. The business climate here is becoming abysmal.

The State of Maryland has already, many times over, absorbed every tax rebate through increased or new state taxes in the last two years. There is no Federal Tax Rebate. When we get money back it goes into savings. We have to worry about paying fuel costs to drive to work. Heating oil prices were the highest ever this Winter. We also have the increased price of food and the new state sales tax to cope with. Life is back to making ends meet.

Law makers in Annapolis need to take their hands out of my pockets. The money is squandered. There is no state spending discipline. The tax increases are planned for and spent before the assessments are even mailed. That’s how it appears to me.

There is no Federal Tax Rebate. It’s another election year ploy for votes. Take that check you get and put it in the bank. You are going to need it either to pay your property tax bill in Maryland this year, to pay for gas, food, oil,or other new taxes invented by the legislature.
