Frank and Joanne McShalley don't think of themselves as rich. He works for an insurance company. She's an office manager. They've got two kids in Baltimore County Catholic schools.
The family isn't hurting, but with the costs of running a household — their boy needs braces, their girl is a year from college — they don't have money for extras. They've noticed Maryland's higher tolls and fees the past few years.
Now Gov. Martin O'Malley wants them to pay more in income taxes. Since the McShalleys together earn more than $100,000, they fall among the top 20 percent of Maryland taxpayers — a group the governor calls the state's "high earners." The McShalleys are not happy.
"The middle class is getting soaked," said Frank McShalley, 48, a Republican from Parkville. "We're getting nailed here. We are the ones that are going to be affected by this."

O'Malley's proposal to raise taxes on "high earners" draws protests in Annapolis and beyond - Baltimore Sun
Democrats and Liberals support Barack Obama's Class Warfare Schtick, but fail to realize that what they are supporting is an infectious disease of the mind that does not know boundaries. It's called Big Government Out of Control. Instead of insisting on reigning in spending, they ask for more tax dollars from the very people who can least afford it.
$100K is not "rich." Pure and simple.
Another classic case of Liberals With Amazing Foresight™. When will Liberals ever learn from their failed ideology?
