The Trump administration plan to start payments to Maryland and Baltimore residents by early next month as the centerpiece of a $1 trillion plan to stabilize the US economy as the coronavirus epidemic threatens a body slam to taxpayers and businesses.

At the same time democrats planned new taxes on business and folks in Baltimore and Maryland. Some of the new tax proposals include: a tax on digital advertising making Maryland the first state in the country to tax digital ad revenue, a tax on digital downloads such as music or movies/streaming platforms, and an increase to the tobacco tax.

The Baltimore democrats never miss an opportunity to raise taxes. They could care less
if people die. More were injured in Baltimore the past weekend by shootings than from
Caronavirus and democrat legislators didn't even address that violence.

The connection is that President Trump is actually trying to help people by providing money and democrats in Baltimore are actually stealing their money by raising taxes and hurting residents.

Keep in mind though the democrats were gonna try to steal from people anyhow.
It was the democrats that helped Caronavirus spreas it's way into Baltimore.

Back in the 1980s the Reagan Administration handed out large blocks of cheese free of charge to the elderly residents of the independent living facility my grandmother lived in. Her refrigerator was loaded with cheese. She gave me a block. The government cheese tasted better than any cheese sold by Kraft and its competitors in the 1980s.

Do you ever really read anything? This was in the works long before the Corona-virus, most states are hurting on the school front just for the fact of a growing population. And what would ever make you believe that Trump, a playboy New York Billionaire who really NEVER had a job can relate to the likes of you. Take off the tinfoil hat and put on your thinking cap man..Trump simply does what seems to be politically expedient and anything that will endear him to the simple minded voters...

Note teachers in Baltimore are getting a paid vacation right now unlike other residents, so nobody should feel sorry for them. Second, Baltimore spends more money per student than almost any other school system in the country. Baltimore has one of the worst student graduation rates or success in all the USA for all that spending. Most Baltimore graduates can't read, so the fact that I can is a pure miracle. Most of my classmates couldn't read after graduating high school. The growing population in Baltimore doesn't exist except for immigrants(some illegal) that are entering the system. Thanks democrats. Many of these immigrant children were not immunized sufficiently, etc. spreading diseases and what not. Thanks Democrats, your plans are working!


President Trump is the first president since Bush to actually have worked
successfully in the real world. Obama, Clinton, Senile Joe Biden, Crazy Bernie never worked an honest job in their lives. All were corrupt democrats or socialists their entire lives.
Do I agree with all this new spending, no! But I certainly don't agree with raising taxes on people while they aren't looking, the old democrat trick.
