I don&#8217;t often get into politics that don&#8217;t have to do with people in uniform, but this is so ridiculous, I can&#8217;t help it this time. <\/p>\n<p>See that picture above? That&#8217;s O&#8217;Malley celebrating how he passed a tax increase on the good folks of Maryland before he&#8217;d spent a year in office and after he&#8217;d spent the real surplus that he had inherited. He passed his tax increase in the middle of the night and obviously, he&#8217;s proud of himself. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something else that you might not know about &#8211; his &#8220;rain tax&#8221;. Two years ago, he rammed a rain tax through the legislature. What&#8217;s a rain tax, you ask? Well, as a property owner, you were charged for the amount of rain that falls on your house and any other structures on property you own. Of course, the amount of rain that you paid taxes for was estimated, which means that the State of Maryland controlled your checking account. They could charge you whatever they wanted and you had to pay it. <\/p>\n<p>The current Governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, got rid of the rain tax as soon as he got into office. I doubt anyone who hangs around this blog would pull the lever for O&#8217;Malley, but I just figured that someone needed to say this. <\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t make a ridiculous statement like &#8220;I&#8217;d vote for Hillary before I&#8217;d vote for O&#8217;Malley&#8221;, you know, because I wouldn&#8217;t vote for either. Given the choices that we have for next year&#8217;s election, I&#8217;m just going to buy more ammo rather than vote for any of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Washington Times Marty O&#8217;Malley will announce his intentions to run for President next &hellip; <a title=\"Martin O&#8217;Malley is not the answer, unless it was a very stupid question\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=60083\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Martin O&#8217;Malley is not the answer, unless it was a very stupid question<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/60086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
