When I lived in Maryland, folks used to complain about the high local taxes to supported Baltimore. I lived in Montgomery County NW of DC and the local income tax was 1/2 of the MD state income tax.
When I moved to Georgia, there was no local income tax (it was like a raise).
Yep, the Liberal Democrats are trashing Liberal Baltimore and the police force that they run there.
Disorganized thugs trash what is convenient.
A scarier thought is organized thugs being transported around to trash other places. We see a milder version with bussing of voters or with transport of the unemployed who have nothing better to do to “Million Man Marches” or protest Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and the like. We also see it with labor actions, but we haven’t yet seen it as a co-ordinated assault (except in malls, organized by obama-phone).
Brings back memories. I also used to live in Montgomery County. I remember the “piggy back” tax, in which you paid a local income tax which “piggy backed” on top of the state income tax paid to the state of Maryland.
I always thought the piggy back tax was a crazy concept, undoubtedly invented by a bureaucrat and/or a liberal. A tax upon a tax was levied.
WMAL reported today that combined govt spending in Baltimore has been ONE TRILLION in the past decade
