Does Anyone Know The Name And Location Of This Seafood Resturant In Maryland?

Rob — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 15:19:39 +0000

It was a looooooong time ago that I went to this restaurant with my parents (basically I was 8 and I am no 27), but it was on the Chesapeake Bay, not too far from Annapolis (I think it was about a 30 minute drive, tops). I *think* it was called the Chesapeake Bay Seafood Restaurant and they had this amazing all you can eat seafood buffet, and my dad used to always get the king crab legs I think. I remember it being a square wooden building on stilts, and near a furniture shop. Anyone have any clues? I’m trying to remember so I can recommend a friend of mine going there, as she now lives not far from where I used to. 10 points to anyone who knows!! Thanks!

Does Maryland’s Experience Prove Once More That Taxing “the Rich” Is A Loser And That Incentives Matter?

Not that we needed any more proof, but I thought this was nice. From the Wall Street Journal.
Millionaires Go Missing
Maryland’s fleeced taxpayers fight back.
Here’s a two-minute drill in soak-the-rich economics:
Maryland couldn’t balance its budget last year, so the state tried to close the shortfall by fleecing the wealthy. Politicians in Annapolis created a millionaire tax bracket, raising the top marginal income-tax rate to 6.25%. And because cities such as Baltimore and Bethesda also impose income taxes, the state-local tax rate can go as high as 9.45%. Governor Martin O’Malley, a dedicated class warrior, declared that these richest 0.3% of filers were “willing and able to pay their fair share.” The Baltimore Sun predicted the rich would “grin and bear it.”
One year later, nobody’s grinning. One-third of the millionaires have disappeared from Maryland tax rolls. In 2008 roughly 3,000 million-dollar income tax returns were filed by the end of April. This year there were 2,000, which the state comptroller’s office concedes is a “substantial decline.” On those missing returns, the government collects 6.25% of nothing. Instead of the state coffers gaining the extra $106 million the politicians predicted, millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did last year — even at higher rates.
No doubt the majority of that loss in millionaire filings results from the recession. However, this is one reason that depending on the rich to finance government is so ill-advised: Progressive tax rates create mountains of cash during good times that vanish during recessions. For evidence, consult California, New York and New Jersey (see here).
The Maryland state revenue office says it’s “way too early” to tell how many millionaires moved out of the state when the tax rates rose. But no one disputes that some rich filers did leave. It’s easier than the redistributionists think. Christopher Summers, president of the Maryland Public Policy Institute, notes: “Marylanders with high incomes typically own second homes in tax friendlier states like Florida, Delaware, South Carolina and Virginia. So it’s easy for them to change their residency.”
All of this means that the burden of paying for bloated government in Annapolis will fall on the middle class. Thanks to the futility of soaking the rich, these working families will now pay Mr. O’Malley’s “fair share.”
