ANNAPOLIS – Reports have surfaced indicating Governor O’Malley’s tax commission has already scheduled meetings to convene shortly after Election Day. The commission will meet four times post election, with a vote from the group taking place as early as November 16th. Maryland Republican Party Chairman Audrey Scott released the following statement in response to O’Malley’s plans to raise taxes:
“New reports confirm what we already knew; Governor O’Malley plans to raise Maryland’s taxes if reelected. Marylanders already struggling with record unemployment and the highest taxes in the State’s history cannot afford another round of crippling tax hikes. It’s now clear why Martin O’Malley has refused to make a no new taxes pledge, it’s because he’s already made up his mind to raise them. Between manipulating jobs reports and hush-hush tax commission meetings, O’Malley’s inclination to pull the wool over the eyes of Maryland residents is the kind of politics as usual that Marylanders are fed up with.”
Among the tax increases to be considered:
· Alternative minimum tax
· Gross receipts tax
· Value added tax
· Broadening the sales tax base
Please vote for the lessor of the evils and vote Ehrlich. He may not be great but anything is better than OweMalley.
ReplyDeleteI'll vote for Ehrlich, but either way we loose. One raises taxes, the other raises fees or charges fees and says its not taxes. Both parties are two sides on one coin. I would vote for any third party candidate, but it would just be like voting for O'Malley.
ReplyDeleteThey just keep feeding the monster don't they?
ReplyDeleteMore taxes to buy votes from loafers that sit home and watch Oprah all day.
Hope Erlich does an add about this.
