No offense to my Maryland friend momtothree here on Free Republic..but

I wouldn’t even try to start a hot dog stand in Maryland. lol

[In Maryland]

No offense taken by this resident of Absurdistan (also know as the People's Republic of Maryland)... Neither would I, given a choice.

But being anchored here by a fulltime job, I do run a business part time. But I will not grow it beyond my ability to run it myself (with a little help from the wife). I do not want to deal with the series of hoops I would have to go through if I hired an employee.

But the Dems here do not get it - Walmart wanted to put a distribution center in Maryland, and the legislature responded with legislation that would require any company over a certain size (which only Walmart would have reached) to provide health insurance or face huge state levys.

So Walmart moved their center 30 minutes away to Delaware. Problem solved. 400 jobs lost.

And they can't understand why no business will headquarter here!
