It is those not working. Welfare, health care, and food stamps destroy our economy, as we pay them out to people who, most often, but not always, can work, but choose not to. The wealthy in our nation, who on average put in 48-70 hours a week at their respective jobs, meetings, and negotiations, and usually sign you "working" peoples paychecks as well, put in their fair share plus some. On the turn around many pay nothing and receive everything. Our economy is our own fault. We give benefits to non-citizens, no other country does this. We put no drop dead dates on welfare and food stamps, no other country gives hand outs like this without a limit. And we allow people to exploit our health care, which I do not complain about, because everyone is entitles to health care, but still we have no checks and balances to secure ourselves that these systems are not being abused. I saw a woman in an Escalade go to the free clinic. Her outfit cost more than my car, but there she was getting free health care. We need to hold people accountable.

I give credit to ol' Rupert because he loves newspapers. If only he loved journalism. Next time, cite a source that gives a damn about the truth. Like in California, where a bunch of right-wing activists have refused to let the legislature raise taxes to the point where services can be properly funded. You’re citing the Murdoch Street Journal.

These aren't just millionaires but are the ultra wealthy. Second, these millionaires didn't just disappear or relocate, they are just tax cheats. So the tax plan is not a failed plan because the taxpayers choose to cheat. The answer is the same as it has always been. Close the tax gap. Too many people choose not to pay their taxes which increases the burden on the rest of us. First, we are talking about people WITH ANNUAL INCOME over a million.

People try these games with the states, especially millionaires. They could end up in worse situation than if they just paid the taxes to begin with, but they still do it. Also you will always see a reduction in millionaires during a recession. If those people still own residence in MD they will end up paying a lot more for not filing.
