It’s okay - the people of Maryland love high taxes. :)

If I didn't have just a couple months left in this socialistic, tax-crazy rat-hole (aka: THE Freak State), I'd go nuts.

Judging by who they elect over and over, they really do!

“It’s okay - the people of Maryland love high taxes”

Not in the part of Maryland where I was raised (Carroll County). It’s crazy because, as Carroll County and the counties west were strongly Republican areas, the Democratic-dominated state legislature and the Democratic governors virtually ignored us.

Maryland’s politics are virtually controlled by three areas: Baltimore City, PG County & Montgomery County (Democratic strongholds). That’s where virtually all the state spending goes and it’s all the government in Annapolis cares about. Only when Bob Ehrlich was Governor (though he was a RINO), did Carroll County really get any glance from Annapolis.
