MARYLAND RESIDENTS AMONG HIGHEST TAXED IN NATION

Marylanders are finding less money in their wallets compared to the rest of the country and taxes may be to blame.  A new study by the Tax Foundation, a non-profit tax policy watchdog, shows that only residents of New York, New Jersey, California and Connecticut are taxed more than folks in Maryland.  The state is also the only one in the country to charge a digital advertising tax and collect both estate and inheritance taxes.  A new 75-cent tax on deliveries is also part of Governor Moore’s budget proposal.  Experts say the heavy tax burden will eventually drive people out of Maryland and their exit would put the state in a precarious financial position.
