I lived in Baltimore city for years and O’Malley left the city in shambles and talked the talk breaking promise after promise. He is actually one of those stereotypical sleazy politicians. There is so much slime in this guy’s closets it would take a cement truck full of bleach just to clean the first layer. I gave the guy a chance, but he really is a slimeball- and this isn’t a Republican/Democrat debate. He dooped the rest of Maryland into voting for him (just shows how un-educated the Maryland voters are) and he’s gonna stick it to us- just watch. I’m planning on moving out of this socialistic cesspool.

Great site and reviews Jerry! (sorry for my rant!!)

what I don’t get is… why does the government think it’s right to tax only one group… if the problem is budget shortfalls why not raise taxes for everyone… sales tax, income tax etc… I don’t get why smokers have to pay for it… oh well, I never really understand this crap anyway.

Oh well…not sure exactly what I did or said to turn this into anything other than another tax increase for tobacco users.

Since I know most of you don’t live in MD I thought giving you some background on why this tax is being proposed would help.

Anyway, my apologies if my comments offended anyone’s political affliation. It was not my intention as most of you know, I stay clear of debating politics and religion.

I’m sorry but I don’t get why some of you are so sensative? What exactly did Jerry say that was “politcal commentary”?

What does happen when the State can’t tax tobacco users anymore? Whose next is a legitimate questions.

Jerry pointing out whose responsible for the budget shortfall in his state? How is that political commentary?

Really guys…relax. Keep up the great work Jerry.

Jerry I think you might want to follow your own rules and leave out the political commentary and just stick to the current topics of how the government is trying to screw us out of more money.
