The election for Delegate in 38B

The O’Malley-Conway team has already voted to create or increase taxes or fees on the following taxes, which are listed with an explanation by the state:

Rain- yes, here in Maryland we tax the free stuff that god blesses our crops with so that we can all eat. So take an umbrella out, but make sure your check is in the mail.

Bingo- because the state of Maryland can’t possibly allow our families or elderly enjoy a wholesale game of bingo without getting in on the action.

Birth certificate- here is what the state is saying with this fee that they voted to double, “ it’s a wonderful time in your life, now PAY ME”

Death certificate- here is what the state is saying with this fee that they voted to double, “ it’s a terrible time in your life. Someone you know just died. Now PAY ME”

Fishing license- we know that we’ve taxed you to the point where you cannot afford a lot of food, so as you turn to your trusty fishing rod remember that you have to pay us first. And you’ll be paying us more thanks to the O’Malley-Conway team.

Tobacco tax- are there any places left that we allow you to smoke? If so, we’ll have to work on that. While you are enjoying your smoke, remember that we’ll be raising the tobacco tax again this year. Especially with the help of Delegate Conway, who is sponsored by anti-smoking activists.

Liquor tax- I know, you’ve been running to Delaware for booze, but soon we’re going to crack down on this activity. Dodging taxes by going to a more consumer friendly state should be punishable by prison. And a fine. And a tax on the fine. Regardless, the O'Malley-Conway team expect your liquor taxes to use for their out-of-control spending. How else will they be able to charge a Baltimore mass transit rider $1/ride for a ride that costs the state $3? How will the state be able to subsidize Baltimore if you don't do your fair share and pay for it?
If you’ve made it this far, I hope you enjoyed our list. We’re having a little fun in an attempt to laugh at the madness of Delegate Conway and his obsession with raising our taxes.Though we are having a bit of fun, I hope you realize how serious this election is. 

Please make time to vote for Carl Anderton for Delegate. And while you are at it vote for Mike McDermott for Senate and Larry Hogan for Governor. Don’t pick and choose on these three. Hogan needs good people like McDermott and Anderton in the General Assembly to get things done.
