Maryland 9/12 Project

So President Obama’s new “Jobs Bill” calls for increasing the taxes on the so called “Rich”. Can someone explain to me how this is A)Suppose to create jobs and B)Help close the $1.5 Trillion budget deficit.

If the IRS taxed the so called “Rich” at double the current amount, this would amount to $19 Billion a year in revenue. You could take all the money the “rich” earn and not even put a dent into the $1.5 Trillion deficit. This is nothing but a political campaign based on class warfare.

WE DON’T HAVE A TAX REVENUE PROBLEM. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

Besides like I stated above what how does raising taxes on job creators, create jobs. Which job creation I thought was the Obama Administrations #1 priority. Yea right. The only job he cares about is his own.

Just a few months ago, members of the Maryland General Assembly proposed to raise the Maryland gasoline tax by 10 cents per gallon and wanted to expand the sales and use tax, increasing your pain at the pump.

Just like in Hollywood, there is talk of scripting a sequel during the 2011 Special Session this October that would re-introduce increasing the gasoline tax here in Maryland! This is a California-based story that Marylanders cannot afford.

Maryland currently ranks having the 24th highest state gasoline tax rate at 23.5 cents per gallon (CPG). 1 Just a 10 CPG increase would drop Maryland to having the 39th highest state gasoline tax rate in the country!

If we added in the 4% sales tax to the proposed 10 cents per gallon increase, Maryland would over take New York for the 49th highest gasoline tax rate in the nation! Maryland would then be competing with California for the highest gasoline tax rate in the country!

Write a Prosperous Script for Maryland!

You and I know that competing with California for the highest gas tax rate will not be a prospereous ending for Maryland. Here is how you can make a difference:

1. Download our petition urging Maryland’s elected officials not to raise the gasoline tax. Have friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and anyone else you can think of to sign it and then mail it back to us!
2. Write letters to the editor encouraging both elected officials and fellow Maryland citizens to oppose raising taxes to fix our financial troubles. Give your personal stories and experiences to persuade people that Maryland needs to stop using the failed policy of spending and taxing.

This is an except from today’s Wall Street Journal that a friend of mine emailed me. Will we ever learn?

This is a great visualization of just how big of a debt problem the United States is in.

For Immediate Release:
July 11th, 2011

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Andy Harris, M.D., will propose an amendment to the Department of Energy appropriations bill that would cut $6 million from a Department of Energy program which spends the money making factories in China more energy efficient and building windmills in Mexico. The savings from the proposed cut would all be directed to reduce the federal deficit, now over $1.5 trillion dollars.

“We need to create jobs in America, not China and Mexico,” said Rep. Harris. “Borrowing money from China to pay for Chinese and Mexican jobs is outrageous and that’s why I’m proposing this pro-American jobs amendment. We need to protect American workers and American taxpayers.”

The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) International Program would help create programs to make Chinese factories more energy efficient and create wind energy projects in Mexico. In addition, the program would spend money in other countries such as India.
