“Marylanders making $500K may pay a whole lot more tax”

Let me help a bit with the headline:

“SOME Marylanders making $500K may pay a whole lot more tax”

Others will not, they will either:
1) Move to cheaper states
2) Earn less reportable income
3) Better hide their income

As Maryland will soon find out Tol, people with money have options, and that if you REALLY want to increase government revenues, then you must go after the Middle Class (who have far fewer ways to respond).

or maybe they will do as liberals and hide their money in a “non-profit” organization that only has themselves as an officer/employee.
