Some good points made here. We all need to be more vigilant when it comes to making our homes more unfriendly for burglars.

Comment on Midterms and higher taxes by Rusty Shackleford

Rusty Shackleford — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:14:40 +0000

Gasoline was only $1/gallon when the gas tax was last raised in 1990. That worked out to an effective tax rate of well over 20%. With gas now at $3.40/gallon, the effective tax rate is now 7%. You need to make up for 20 years of inflation somehow.

Also, your assertion that a “38.5 cent gas tax would lead the nation by far” is dead wrong. Even if Maryland raised the gas tax by 15 cents, it would still trail California (46.1), New York (45), Hawaii (44.3), Connecticut (40.9), and Illinois (38.8).

You can look up each state’s gas tax here. To arrive at the state tax portion, back out the federal rate of $18.4 cents:

Comment on Midterms and higher taxes by Rusty Shackleford

Delaware doesn’t charge a sales tax because they soak anyone who travels their 15-mile stretch I-95 for $4 each way. They also charge you another $4 if you take the Delaware Memorial Bridge from New Jersey into Delaware. So, if you want us to be like Delaware, we can start charging a $10 toll for all of the Chesapeake Bay and Patapsco crossings. I bet that will go over real well.

May, This was a beautiful right up for your mom & every word of it is true about the way she lived! I don’t remember anytime when your mom wasn’t smiling or kind. At least now she is not in pain anymore even though I know you would rather have her with you.
