Maryland’s Future

This November all Marylanders will have to make a big decision it’s not that hard, however some might have a more challenging time making this crucial decision.

Lets layout the issues:

Over the past four years we have seen our taxes almost double, unemployment almost doubled, we are all paying more a higher sales tax. We are losing hundreds of businesses every month. We have tried things their way for the past four years. Can anyone honestly say they are better off today than they were four years ago?

This is what we had under Governor Ehrlich, lower taxes, more jobs, business moving into Maryland (Ritz Carrolton to name one) the list could go on forever.
Our sales tax was only 5% (one comment I have to make IT ISN’T JUST ONE PENNY IT IS 1%)

So, ask yourself do you really want to continue the radical O’Malley-Obama Agenda that has bankrupted our Country and State? Remember the difference between a recession and a depression is, if your neighbor loses his job it’s a Recession; When you lose your job it’s a Depression, with that said when Martin O’Malley and Anthony Brown lose their jobs in Annapolis and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid lose their jobs it is the start of a recovery.

Lastly ask yourself are you better off today than you were four years ago?
