Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., left, Gov. Martin O'Malley and House Speaker Michael E. Busch celebrate at a bill-signing.

The new motto for the state of Maryland is “Welcome to Maryland, What is in your Wallet?” 

The former failed mayor of the 12th deadliest city of America pictured in the middle celebrating raising tax day.  Who by the way is Governor of Maryland (thanks to the Kool Aid Coalition of Voters) has just gotten his way by getting the Maryland General assembly to pass the largest tax increase in Maryland history.

Flashback to November 2006 when I said (here)

 “It is a shame that in this day and age we would rather promote a dead beat mayor of one of America’s worst cities to become Governor.  The people of Maryland spoke and all that matters is higher taxes, anti business climate and a place that will look like New Jersey.”

Oh yeah by the way, I did not mention that we might get slots…  Whoopee, I am voting NO for that crap on next years ballot!

The People’s Republic of Maryland has a spending problem, and just like what irresponsible government allays do, they raise taxes.  Discretionary spending is tight these days yet the state still wants more money from you you to pay poor schools, sub par services and the liberal interest groups that funded the King O'Malley's campaign.

You can’t blame me for it, I voted for Governor Bob!
