This could get interesting.
With a thought process like this , it would
be someone like yourself wrecking Maryland not O'Malley

I understand what you are saying and to a degree have to agree with you.
However, if everything just keeps going on like always, companies don't stand up and say enough, citizens don't stand up and say enough, then nothing will change.
Letters and phone calls don't work, never have and never will. What will work however is making a financial statement. Raise tax on business, business leaves the state. less revenue.
Raise tax on goods, people buy out of state when the can. Less revenue.
Right now the majority of the business in Maryland will go along with almost anything because they can just raise the price of their service or goods and still end up with the same bottom line.
Take a car dealership, do you think they care if you pay 1 or 2% more in tax when you buy that car? do they care if you pay twice as much to title the car? no, they don't. They don't even really care if they pay more tax on their bottom line, they just wont deal down as far why you buy that car. So they sit back silent and just accept it.
Now take that same dealership, and lets say that people buy the car in Delaware or Virginia, sure if I do that I still pay twice as much to register it in Maryland, and yes I do pay the tax on the purchase in Maryland, however what I don't have to pay is the additional costs passed on by the dealer.
Where it hurts Maryland is on the taxes paid by the dealer on his quarterly bottom line, taxes on the income from a salesman.
The dealer is now in a position that he is feeling the loss. If he wants to bring his numbers back up he needs to actually fight the state to get rid of these additional taxes and fees.
Same with the beer store, or the cigarettes, How long will it take for these places to realize that the state has not only pushed up their taxes, but at the same time caused their customer base to leave the state for their purchases.
I would go as far as to suggest a boycott on anything produced or sold in Maryland until the state feel the pinch and starts to act in a fiscally responsible way.
The store employees want to get people out to protest in front of the stores. Where were those same store employees when teachers were being cut? how about police? or firemen?, Did the store employees all join together and protest in Annapolis? maybe I missed it.
Bottom line is that the state is pushing this type of action by raising the cost of doing business. The only protest that will get their attention is to purchase out of state when ever possible.
We were there Teamster #730 was there as was #639
You put alot out there that I agree with you about but I just wanted to answer this first and to tell you my wife has been teaching for 23 years in a privet school so she doesn't get what other teachers get but we both agree that what is going on today with Teachers,Police ,Firemen and Nurses and people in the Military is dead wrong .....yes there need to be some changes but you can't tell me it better to go after them and children in the schools then to go after big business?
What does it mean to 'go after' big business? What is a 'big business'?

Didnt say it was better.
all Im saying is that people need to put their foot down and show the state that they DO NOT control what or where I buy.
If others want to keep paying more at the pump, or at the store, fine, let them.
I on the other hand am willing to actually spend more (time and fuel) to purchase out of state before I spend any tax in Maryland that I can avoid.
Im only in the state for another 6~8 years, then Im gone. I really dont care how much trouble the state gets in between now and then. Democrats have to be slapped hard to understand.

Erlich is not the one trying to double the costs right now.
Erlich was not a good choice either, then put him in with the MD. GA? no where to go but down.
...the Wal-Marts,Giants,Citi Banks,C&S wholsale Distributors....etc,companies with sales in the BILLIONS.
.............I agree yet he was the one that left it for OMalley.Look I'm a republicain and it piss's me off we have noone who can step up and it makes me madder that the Dems do,I too am only here for another 6 or 7 years but as somone who has realatives in NJ....what ever we have it's better then Chris Chrissty.(sp)
