Md. Tax Cheat Hall Of Shame

One man in Towson owes the state of Maryland over half a million dollars in back taxes.

A company in Gaithersburg is $358,000 behind in what they owe to the state.

This year's list of the state's top scofflaws is out. Let the public humiliation begin.

The Maryland State comptroller's office has been turning out a yearly list of 25 individuals and 25 companies that owe the most money in unpaid taxes to the state. This year's list owes a combined total of $11 million.

"The vast majority of Marylanders are hard-working, honest and pay their fair share in state taxes," said Comptroller Franchot. "This program highlights those who enjoy the benefits of living in Maryland but allow their neighbors to shoulder all the financial costs. The Comptroller's Office is committed to ensuring that all taxpayers pay their fair share."

Public Humiliation?? WHAT?? Is this the State of Maryland or Romper Room?? I had a tax issue with the state and they threatened to freeze my bank accounts, take my ENTIRE paycheck, and if necessary, CONFISCATE my assets!! I would have been okay with public humiliation. Apparently, these people are too. Thats what citizens are looking for from our "leaders" who are in charge of making ALL citizens pay their share --- a slap on the wrist, a strongly worded letter, and if that fails, some "public humiliation"....tax cheats monitored by imbeciles. Our best hope is the police catch these people talking on their cell phone while driving without their seat belt and shoot them as they reach for their wallet....
