there soon will be
This is of course is an utter lie by Democrat Leo Canty - which of coure is completely expected.
In 2007 Maryland, a socialist sh!t hole if ever there was one, passed a special income tax, doubling the tax on those making $1,000,000 or more annually. The Sun paper (considerably to the left of Pravda) and the Comptroller of Md (a democrat) both said "they'll grin and bear it."
When the law was passed there were 3000 filers who had that level of income. The first year that the tax was in effect and the returns were counted (2008) there were 1000 people who filed with that level of income. Between state and county income tax Maryland averages about 8%.
Prior to the passage of the law maryland was robbing the high achievers of $240,000,000 to be squandered by the democratic hacks in Annapolis. The year after they got $160,000,000. By screwing the rich they lost $80,000,000. Funny, the Sun paper's editors and the comptroller of Md did not have and smart assed comments to make when this was brought to light.
Personally I'd like to see every high achiever leave the state. Not sure where I'd want them to go though, I wouldn't wish them on Florida or Texas because after all they're most likely Democrats. Maybe Tennessee.
