do these politicians ever stop looking for ways to raise taxes or create new regulations
Man, being right is not always a pleasant feeling. Just like I said months ago, our "leaders" MUST find new revenue streams to cover their outrageous spending. First they spend every dollar they have and then write bad checks totaling hundreds of millions of dollars (which "we, the people" would be in prison for). The next step is to tell us how we have to "sacrifice" to "get the budget under control", deftly sidestepping the fact that THEY spent us into ruin. Thats why we will be taxed, fined, and surcharged in ways we aren't even aware of yet. Also the reason for "speed cameras". Just keep voting and believe there is ANYONE who isn't going to tax you some more. This is only the beginning.

Boy I'm glad I live in Delaware. Sounds to me O'malley wants to raise taxes on everything. Next they will want to tax you on days the sun shines.
Rafael he already did. He is raising fees on fishing and hunting, you will have to pay more to cross bay to go to O.C. All are sunny day taxes.
