They will do like they do with cars and charge you the tax upon registering it.
They don't do that now, so they'd have to change/add the law. It will take them a while to notice the drop in in-state sales and the increase in out-of-state transfers.
 
I was listening to Fox & Friends while getting dressed this morning and they were saying something about the Dems trying to push thru a "one time only" tax that would take 15% from every retirement fund (401k, IRA, etc.) in order to generate an immediate cash infusion for social security. They reason that they should take from those of us who have the money and foresight to save for retirement and bail out those that will only have SS to live off of...:faint:

It would take them 30 minutes. They would add it to this bill.

I was trying to find something about this and can't. Any idea who was initiating it or anything else to refine my search?

Democrats have experts on the payroll who can figure out every way from Sunday to stick it to you and how to squeeze the last drop. It wont take them long.

You know your broken record spiel is getting REALLY old.
Not all Marylanders voted for O'malley, some even after being disapointed with Ehrlich, still voted for him.
Look, Conservative Marylanders didn't get out and vote so the liberals had their way with the results. The whining and complaining about what they are doing to us now is getting old to me. I'm real anxious to see how MDers react this next election. Did they learn their lesson that they really don't want democrats having this much control?

I'm trying to send the message that this is what complacency earns you. I know you and other (assumably) conservatives get it, but many don't. So when I post this crap, just pass over it if you are tired of it.

Please move to another state. There are very few states that don't do the same damn thing. It has nothing to do with the different parties. Politicians are just that Politicians.

I wish there was a way to verify those figures but I really can't see them making much of a difference one way or another in Md. In a state where the democrats out number the republicans almost 2 to 1 (1.7 million dems to 900,000 reps), I guess we were lucky to get Ehrlich for the four years we did. I think the 2002 election of Ehrlich was more of a reflection on Kathleen Kennedy Townsend than his 2006 defeat was a reflection of republican complacency.

Until republicans start to significantly increase the amount of registered voters, I think we are going to be stuck with typical Md one party politics for quite some time. 2002 was a wake up call to Md Democrats.

The sad part is new registered democrats outpaced new registered republican by approximatelty 55,000 from 2002-2006.

Lets face it; Md is a liberal world, we just live in it.

Off topic but it deals with taxes.

I found it totally odd that when you trade in a car in any other state, they caculate the sales tax on the difference between your trade in and the sale price of the new car. IE: New car $40K - trade in $15K = $25K difference / $25K X .05 = $1250 sales tax.

In Md they charge sales tax on the whole deal. $40K X .05 = $2000

They have all those worthless do nothing stupid people working at MVA that need to get paid!

HB1350- 10% tax on homeowner's fertilizing their lawns.

I love this one. Guess they're going to have to take pictures of me fertilizing my lawn. :jameo:
Does this mean they can interpret my dog pooping on my lawn as fertilizing? :confused:
