[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD needs to get out of its own damn way.  Cut regulations. Cut corporate taxes.  Make MD the best state on the entire east coast to start a business or move one to.  You cannot tax your way out of this problem.  Dems need to grow the damn economy instead of making a state where everyone relies on the govt for jobs.  [/quote]

It’s so sad they don’t just ask you, the man with all the easy answers. [/quote]

Spoken like an idiot dem. Clearly, more regulations, taxes, and govt pensions will grow the economy. [/quote]

Translate: "please cut regulations so companies can exploit people and cut ties so that I pay fewer taxes and get rid of woke/trans/DEI because I hate people involved in that and don't give people retirement plans because that hurts my investments"[/quote]
What companies? The government is the largest employer by far. The vast majority of private sector employment is in consumer services, eg retail and restaurants. The state of Maryland does not make anything. It does not produce anything. It does not create added value in anything. Furthermore, after spending enough time around Maryland politics, what I have sadly learned is that more taxes do not translate into more and better services. Higher taxes principally just go to pay increases for government workers. So it we end up paying more the same.[/quote]

Maryland has a lot of pharmaceutical and medical industry.  There’s also a fair bit of Ag and some food manufacturing plants in the rural areas.   Some tourism as well obviously. There are also decent sized law firm, accounting firms and financial services firms based in bethesda, as well as Marriot of course. [/quote]
