“Oh, you think I’m joking! Maryland Democrats literally passed a bill to tax your good sleep! House Bill 858. Look it up!
A small but vocal group of conservative Republicans in the Maryland House of Delegates were stunned on Friday when far-left Democrats pushed through HB 858—a bill that establishes a mattress stewardship program under the guise of promoting safe disposal and recycling. This is another tax on Marylanders as the state sinks into financial turmoil and elevated credit downgrade risks. The new 6% tax on mattresses is on top of the existing 6% sales tax.
If far-left Gov. Moore and Democrats are willing to tax Marylanders’ sleep, these woke activists could easily push another bill to tax thinking.
In our time, a “thinking tax” would not garner a windfall for the government, particularly in Democrat precincts where thinking is apparently verboten!
