Who the heck do they think they are?! $100,000 does not make a person rich in this economy; it will only drive people out of the State, is totally unfair.

It is no longer an idealogy!! O'Malley wants to be the next pres candidate after Obama. If we just sit back and accept this thinking there is nothing we can do, we are all in the handbasket to hades!!
