Most if my friends jn MD have already moved to VA to avoid taxes. Thus will just push the remaining ones over.

You're voting for state-level Republicans because you're ok with sales taxes on goods but you're not ok with sales taxes on services? Really?

People want balance. The crazy left loons and the crazy right wing nut jobs are just two sides of the same cloth.

This is me!

I voted for Hillary and tend to vote Democrat. But MoCo Democrats have gone so far off the deep left end that I simply can’t vote for them anymore. It’s insane. I see their lunatic views in the schools, in the county policies (eg protecting undocumented immigrants at all costs), etc.

It is but the way I’m reading it is the tax would only be exempt if it’s daycare through a nonprofit or civic organization.

Lots of BS non-profits out there as it is!

Plus so many people pay cash for childcare anyway, so they’ll just avoid the taxes.

Updating my comment that child care and day care are exempt. The language is murky.

This is so admins like the MCPS superintendent can get a 9% salary raise:

Smith is already making something like $300k per year.

Dems love to tax, what else is new?

This.

Where do Democrat voters think the money to pay for all the free social programs comes from?? Your paycheck!

You can offer free services for everyone and everything and not expect to pay more.

On Housekeepers too.

-VA business owner

I don't think it works that way. If they are providing the service in VA, they wouldn't pay MD taxes. You only pay taxes if you have nexus.
