Maryland lost 4.71 percent, or 6,494, of its small businesses from
2007 to 2010, a decrease that one fiscal policy group chalks up to the
state’s tax increases. But some economic experts say that is only part
of the answer.
Maryland fared about the same as Delaware, but lost a higher
percentage of business than its other neighbors, according to U.S.
Census figures for businesses with 1 to 99 employees.
Delaware lost 4.72 percent, or 1,176 businesses; West Virginia lost
4.51 percent, or 1,789 businesses; Virginia lost 3.66 percent, or 7,170
businesses; and Pennsylvania lost 2.64 percent, or 7,854 businesses.
Washington, D.C. gained 523 businesses, or 2.59 percent.

There was no stimulus for small business because the states want them to fail and then large union companies will take over.
