WASHINGTON - In Maryland, a state with the nation's second-highest concentration of millionaires, there are a lot of eyes on President Obama's push for a "Buffet Rule" tax on the wealthiest Americans.
Details are still sketchy on the president's plan, but Maryland multimillionaire Ted Leonsis — an Obama supporter — is among those already bristling.
"Economic Success has somehow become the new boogie (sic) man," Leonsis, who declined to be interviewed, wrote in a Sept. 25 blog post, noting that he has already given the maximum contribution to Obama's re-election campaign.
"(S)ome in the Democratic party are now casting about for enemies and business leaders and anyone who has achieved success in terms of rank or fiscal success is being cast as a bad guy in a black hat," said the owner of the Washington Capitals, Wizards, Mystics and the Verizon Center.

Didnt 120 millionaires from Maryland disappear a couple years ago when they imposed the millionaires tax and the state actually went looking for them!
3:57 I think your are correct O'Malley and his incompetent pack political cronies chased most of Marylands millionaires to other states so they could pat taxes there instead of Maryland,nice move O'Malley what an A-HOLE
I would think the aholes are the millionaires. Not the guy trying to get money out of them. Just sayin
No O'Malley is the ahole without the sense to figure out that a millionaire has the means to move wherever they choose so now we get nothing out of them including the work they give people like painting their houses, doing their landscaping etc.
