ReplyDeleteFunny how they believe that a tax CREDIT creates jobs, while on the other hand, they are taxing businesses to death in MD ....
ReplyDeleteI got a job as an extra once. I'm in a James Bond film called "License to Kill". I made a whole hundred dollars for my part. Yeah, really an economic boost that year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marty for bringing Maryland 30,000 one hundred dollar jobs! We sure need them here!
