MARYLAND GOVERNOR TAXES RAIN

Maryland Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley has instituted a tax on citizens for the amount of rain that falls on their property.

The tax, officially known as a "storm water management fee," will be enforced in nine of the state's counties. The state legislature passed it in 2012 purportedly to "raise revenue to cleanup [sic] the Chesapeake Bay," according to MarylandReporter.com.

Former 2012 GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dan Bongino bashes the tax in a Wednesday afternoon press release. The law "requires individuals, businesses, and even charitable organizations and houses of worship to pay a tax based on the amount of rain that falls on their property and the 'impervious surfaces' on their land," he says.

Can someone tell me where all the money from the speed cameras goes. Also where does the money from the casino's go? It is obviously not going for roads, education or the Bay. So who lied and who's getting ricH?

Every single new tax and increased spending for welfare and entitlements for illegals and those who will not work that O'malley rams through has the blessing of the Salisbury mayor and majority of city council now. Salisbury had a chance to restore some fiscal sanity and promote small business but YOU BLEW IT. And Salisbury you deserve all of the pain you are about to receive.

Democrats are nothing but freeloading voters waiting for more Government handouts. I would be ashamed to be a Democrat and surely wouldn't admit it.

Don't purchase firearms, purchase flare guns sold at boating stores. No background check, nuttin', fire somebody up too, make them look like Richard Pryor running down the street on fire! Criminals will always have weapons, there is a simple choice to avoid background checks, go the flare gun route. I have one and it will shoot 100's of yards. Politicians are idiots.

Time for a tax revolt, if the 1/2 that are paying them now join together and stop there will be no tax revenue for these self important socialist morons. Are they going to put us ALL in jail? I don't think so, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Lets do it Maryland, how much more of what money we have left over from Federal, state and city taxes are we going to give them? Is there any left over now from the never ending cost increases of basic needs ? The time to start is now before canceling of our 2nd admendmaent rights in MD and the country in general. When you take away everything from a man and especially a large group of men you create a dangerous situation.
