the sparkling old dude to pay more in income taxes

Oh my.

I went over to Skins's island to see what the primitives are saying about the latest Brietbart revelations about the Magic One, but not a peep out of the primitives about that.

But I did manage to see this campfire:

Md. passes income tax hike on six-figure earners

More than 300,000 Maryland residents will pay higher income taxes under a package given final approval by the legislature Wednesday.

The tax increase affects single-filers reporting income in excess of $100,000 and joint-filers reporting more than $150,000 in Maryland, the state with the nation’s highest per-capita income.

Democratic lawmakers closed ranks behind Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), who argued that his administration needed more money to continue record spending on education.

O’Malley’s tax increases — combined with a move the legislature supported to shift teacher pension costs to counties — will close half of a $1 billion gap that had been forecast for the rest of the decade.

1. I wouldn't have gone down as low as $100-$125 grand

In the DC suburbs that is not rich at all.

I would have started the tax increase at the $200 grand level for individuals and $250 for joint filers.

And then I would have saved taxpayer money by emptying the jails of all non-violent drug offenders.

Too bad for the sparkling old dude.

Yes, I've been following the Maryland story, thanking God that I could have it worse, and thinking of Stinky.  $100K is rich?  In the DC area?  That's destitute.

So.....what do you suppose the counties in Maryland are going to do, about having to shoulder the burden of pension costs, rather than the state?

I see some tax increases in the counties, too.

There's no way out of it.

Cool,  not only do you get to pay outragous amounts of money for a home, property taxes out of control, you also get to spend what ever is left on more state taxes.  Kind of bad if NY State or NJ look like cheaper places to live.  I seen a real boon of home sales in northern VA.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I know what you mean.

In the sale "magazine" that Cabela's put out recently (sale ending 5/23/12), Estate 12 gauge 00 buckshot is $14.99 per box of 25.  Also, on the Cabela's site, Herter's .308 150-grain FMJ is $7.99 a box of 20.  I need to get more .308 and 12 gauge.

Really, can you ever have enough?

Watch as unemployment goes up, property values go down, and about a 30% haircut on total income taxes to the state within a year.

Well, Cabela's is selling their ammo.  In pretty big amounts, as it appears.

And, jukin, as I've told my wife on numerous times, the only time that you ever have too much ammo is when your house is on fire.

To be fair, though, the reason MD is blue is because of MoCo, PG, and Baltimore City. Maryland is actually rather red. In the 2004 election, Bush won every county except the two I mentioned and Baltimore City. Those three places are the reason we can't have nice things!

But yeah, my husband wants to move to PA or DE to get away from here. I can't say I blame him.
