In such counties, income taxes are no lower than they are in surrounding high-tax jurisdictions, like the District of Columbia.HansBaderTue, 05 Aug 2008 10:53:44 -0000http://www.openmarket.org/2008/08/03/lame-excuse-for-welfare-bogus-food-stamp-challenge/#comment-2125700wait maryland raised taxes recently? sorry for asking such an ignorant question... but until i read this i was actually considering moving to maryland *because* of the income taxes.anonymousSun, 03 Aug 2008 23:42:25 -0000
