They're Raising Taxes - Again!
By Dennis Brent Melby
They’re raising taxes…again!
When times are good, employment is strong, wages are comfortable and inflation is low - Democrats raise
taxes.
- “It’s a good time” they say, “Folks can afford it and we have a need to help others” they say.
When times are bad, if government employees are laid off, inflation is at Biden levels- Democrats raise taxes.
- “There’s a real need!” they say, “So many folks need help, and we’ll only tax the well-off folks (who can afford to move).” We’ll make it progressive.
Tax and spend, tax and spend, and tax some more!
- Tax your home
- Tax your electricity
- Tax your energy
- Tax your property
- Tax your income
- ...make plastic bags illegal and then tax paper bags
- Yes, they once even tried to tax the rain!
Maybe there’s another way. Maybe others have better ideas. If there are fewer kids going to school maybe we don’t need as many teachers, and high paid administrators, and support staff, and lawyers to defend the Board of Education from stupid decisions. Maybe cut School Resource Officers…no wait…they've already done that on anti-cop grounds, not to help the budget.

DON'T VOLUNTEER? - CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT EQUALITY
Only about 10% of the Republican Judges we need have signed up. I can't complain they don't have Republican representatives when Republicans don't volunteer to serve. I need you, the Party needs you, the free and fair election process needs you. We need you now. Become a Republican paid volunteer here.

POLL WORKERS NEEDED
Montgomery County Board of Elections
Dear Registered Voter,
Your community needs your help! Please sign up to serve as an Election Judge (poll worker) and invite your family, friends, and community to join us.
The Montgomery County Board of Elections is recruiting volunteers to serve as Election Judges (poll workers) for the upcoming Gubernatorial Primary Election. Opportunities are available both during Early Voting, which will be held from Thursday June 11 through Thursday June 18, and on Election Day, Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
Our volunteers play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of elections for all voters. Election Judges receive a stipend for their service during Early Voting and/or on Election Day, and both full-day and part-day positions are available. If you served as a poll worker in the 2024 elections, you are eligible for a bonus of $100.00 per full day of Early Voting or Election Day service ($50 per half day served).
