Due to the outcry of people like you and me it appears as though the O'Malley-Brown Gas Tax proposal is being taken off the table! Your letters, e-mails, phone calls and rallies have paid off and together we think we have defeated this outrageous tax..... for now.
Thanks to you and the realtors the highly controversial elimination of the mortgage tax deduction is now off the table too! I have said from the beginning that this deduction is one of the most important things to MD homeowners. Thanks to the Maryland Realtors and homeowners for your hard work in helping to most likely defeat this measure!
The O'Malley-Brown Administration is now looking for "new" taxes to impose. The current proposal is to raise $400 million dollars through an INCOME TAX INCREASE! Obviously the Governor didn't listen to us in January when 96% of Marylanders said they pay enough in taxes.
You can see our work is not done yet. We need to keep the pressure on the Governor that Marylanders are not OK with increased taxes of any type! I continue to advocate for cuts in the budget and will not support any new tax or fee on Marylanders.

It seems obvious that the things taken "off the table" were never really on it to begin with. It's all a ruse to raise the income tax and have people say, well, at least we didn't have a gas tax or lose our mortgage deduction. It's all part of the game, sheep.
ReplyDeleteAlso to add... When have you ever heard in the last 4 years a demigod take off the table and taxes and not either bring it back up later or in some other name or some other bill?
ReplyDeleteWell they don't so wither this will be back or they want income first then the gas...
either way money leaves your pocket and goes to them as the want no matter what u call it or look at it...
