The 1800 w. C b m 680 you can e-mail us am 680 w c b m dot com Again you can text into the show using the w c b a mobile phone app for your smart devices are produced this morning John Vincent in for the vacationing Joe Armacost top story once again here we go the out of control Maryland Attorney General Brian Frost announced plans yesterday to file a lawsuit challenging the legality of part of the new federal tax law that he claims disproportionately hurts high tax states like Maryland for our city intends to join the New York led lawsuit challenging the new $10000.00 cap on deducting state and local taxes he said quote It disrupts the longstanding balance of taxing power between the states and the federal government and of quote that the docs known as salt state and local tax provision was previously on capital of Marylanders to reduce their taxable bills by accounting for all the money paid in state and local income and property taxes and taking that off your federal return with the cap in place they're claiming about a half a 1000000 Maryland residents will lose an average of about 12 grand in the doctrines and New Jersey Connecticut also planning to join the lawsuit and the Frost says the primary reason why suing is the cap violates state sovereignty and he was quoting Alexander Hamilton in the federalist papers and he says the state sovereignty idea is something that the framers had in mind from the beginning this again frosh is a Democrat as is and initiated or joined more than 20 lawsuits against the federal government in one year when the General Assembly expanded his powers a lot and to file suit without the governor's approval governor Hogan says he doesn't think it has much of a chance and this is amazing to me Frank because you hear once again the Democrats were complaining when this provision was allowed in the federal tax code that was in a I was only argument or lawsuits about state sovereignty when the salt provision was was provided for in previous. Tax law and tax code but there's a simple remedy for all of this you don't need to the law you don't need to sue you need to waste money taxpayers' money now the journal somebody can fix this problem on their own they have to worry about the feds look it's not the responsibility of the federal government or it's duty to keep in check property taxes and local income taxes and posed by the respective states including Maryland So here to for these states including Maryland in effect been getting away with saddling the federal government with the duties that they are supposed to here to or at least impose so all the state has to do is lower the tax rates and your you know the price far as the property tax rate the counties in Maryland would then have to lower their tax rates. As with the state the state would have to lower their taxes and so it's really the responsibility of the of the various states and not the federal government the federal government is saying look you know we're not going to be responsible for picking up were you guys basically dropped the ball here I mean the point is it's a lot of states like New York Connecticut Illinois California and even Maryland they have higher sales taxes and higher tax rates on property and state and local income tax biggie back tax you name it Marilyn we found out this year is a number one worst state in the union for tax burden and this is what the Democrats are afraid of because people are going to go or wait a minute now I've got to pay a heck of a lot more to the taxes in Maryland Yeah that's because Maryland has imposed these high taxes not the federal government the federal government is treating everybody the same or just removing this provision there's a lot of high tax states to get away with bloody murder and kind of fight it within the tax code and. As it turns out of the states most are released and many other states we're talking about are are blue states Democrat controlled states like like Maryland So look at this tax law according to frosh and he's going to jack up taxes for more than a half $1000000.00 Well Mr Frost there is a way around this all you have to do is get up there on your podium and told the state legislature look we've got to reduce taxes here in the state that you are one right it's amazing to me that that process using Alexander Hamilton and in federal spray president here's the quote States should possess an independent and uncontrollable authority to raise their own revenues for the supply of their own wants an attempt on the part of the national government to abridge them in the exercise of it would be a violent assumption of power nobody's doing that the state of Maryland has it again independent in their own authority to raise or lower their taxes local jurisdictions have their independent authority to raise or lower their property taxes the state taxes the local income taxes the federal government doesn't do that the state of Maryland does this is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money and somebody's got to get this progressive kook off well least the governor urging on the Republican governor Larry Hogan says he doesn't think the lawsuit has much of a chance so I fourteen's I'm a w c b m traffic and weather 1st now well the update here is the man behind the map Chuck Whitaker.

We have got the man behind them out yeah that's what that's you know nothing's private and with the social media that exactly or not sorry. I lost weight on the phone or on the air I got to tell the truth. By the way we lost the legend broadcast legend I guess it was yesterday Jack Jack Gale Oh yeah yeah yeah down here near me yeah he lived in Florida for a number of years I mean he was one of the greatest innovators and brought out a nice. Guy a man of a file. Voices Yeah I mean and funny he is one and he was one of a kind yeah yeah and I thought I had lunch with him at his home and he was tell you bought a station over and both in Alabama and it was an am station that he tried to put the the oldies Bigg Boss jocks things on it and it didn't fly Unfortunately that's another thing you know he's hard you know he was as I said a great innovator and he was actually the 1st hound dog. On radio and nobody who i th Him night time and he did all the voices you know. There's no rock you by white tango. That's it does that is positive or white cargo that wasn't a bird that's right that's sad news and yeah the letters are very good often running here this morning I chuckle see it a couple of 23 the Pentagon recent ban personal cell phones Vox's Rachel so that has more in securing America.

Later joined against the trumpet ministration in one year that has got to be a record and I've got to look it up see how many times Obama was sued over 8 years but they're on a pace right now for the problem ministration for about you know a total of 80 lawsuits and again this is this is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money the latest is challenging the tax cuts and Jobs Act Frank because number $1.00 it's the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution allows for the government when Congress passes a law it is the supreme law of the land and it wasn't struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court than it did that's that's the way it goes and Maryland has every right to levy whatever state local income tax they want whatever state sales tax they want whatever property tax they want in the local jurisdictions and the federal government doesn't interfere with that and I don't see the Democrats that control all the states and there may be some Republicans as well they don't want to take the flak they don't want to be blamed you know for the high taxes in their states and so what they do is they just kind of shuffle the blame over to the federal government and the whole you know the federal government in the past allowing these deductions were more or less the sugar daddies to to make it possible for these various states to impose higher taxes and one of those higher taxes lead to well let's look at it I mean you have Illinois who is bankrupt basically they go stand there the whatever is their sales tax at 9 or 10 percent if I'm not mistaken sales tax and they're still bankrupt because when you when you give when you send money to Democrats whether it be at the federal level or h
