Annapolis, Md. – Gubernatorial candidate Ron George has released the following statement regarding Governor O’Malley’s final State of the State address:
“Never has a governor so boldly claimed budget cuts, economic growth and a shrinking executive branch in the face of such clear evidence against. Small businesses have seen their taxes rise tremendously under the O’Malley/Brown administration. Now in 2014, he is burdening job creators with the rain tax, implementation of Obamacare and a forced wage increase.
“The O’Malley/Brown administration has seen the relocation of thousands of small businesses and tens of thousands of taxpayers due to a hostile state government. Our mom and pop shops, who employ the majority of our workers, are already struggling to stay open. We must focus on expanding opportunities for entrepreneurs and technical training for our unemployed to protect and grow our middle class for generations to come.”
I am manager at E&B Body and Paint in Street, Maryland. I was completely appalled when Obama told us that it was on us as employers to stimulate the economy by giving our employees raises. It is not that we do not want to give them raises, in fact we have; however, we are being taxed to death, and our throats cut by insurance companies! Something MUST be done this is true, but, as a business owner, we have done everything possible.
