In one of the oddest developments in the campaign to date, Governor Martin O’Malley recently raised the subject of tax increases in Maryland. Since he is responsible for the largest tax increase in Maryland history, we thought Marylanders would find this video of interest.
Days after Governor O’Malley celebrated his $6.3 billion tax increase in November 2007, economists told The Washington Post that the O’Malley tax package, “will place an unfair burden on low income families.” America plunged into recession one month after he signed these taxes into law. Nearly 100,000 Marylanders have since lost their jobs and 3,000 small businesses have closed. We should helping these folks in a tough economy, not hurting them.
Bob Ehrlich and Martin O’Malley have very different views about your taxes. Bob believes that Marylanders deserve to keep more of their earnings in order to save for their future, spend as they see fit, or invest in their own small business in order to grow and create jobs. That’s why he defeated $7.5 billion in tax increases during his first term and it’s why he’s pledged not to raise your taxes if elected in November.
Martin O’Malley disagrees. He believes that forcing you to pay the largest tax increase in Maryland history isn’t enough. He refuses to rule out raising your taxes next year. With so many Marylanders struggling to get by in this economy, we can’t afford to have government dipping into our wallets again next year.
