I live in MD. In 2006, we had 12 Fortune 500 companies HQ'd in our state. We now have 3. Over the past 4 years, the Democratic Dick Head in Charge (I mean Governor) instituted over FORTY new taxes (including taxing us on rain - no bullshit) and little by little companies are leaving. I think something like 13,000 or 30,000 residents fled the state as a result of taxes as well.
I also live in Md. The taxes that are thrown at the people in this state are insane. State tax? understood . county tax? ok rain tax? huh? bonus tax is 46% what? an extra tax if I want to order liquor at a restaurant? get the **** out of here!!
