When will people realize that, increasing tax rates on people who have no taxable income, changes nothing. All Barack is doing is pi$$ing on your head and telling you it's raining.
You got that right 5:05!But its hard to believe 50% of the people just dont understand that.
And the State of Maryland can't understand why they are loosing so much revenue on tobacco taxes. They taxed it out of business. O'Malley Conway & Cane will find another way to tax you even if it's the air you breathe.
