In a bold move, Democrats in Maryland have passed HB 858, dubbed the ‘Sleeping Tax’ bill, targeting tired Americans with a new 6% levy on mattresses. Far-left lawmakers, led by Governor Wes Moore, are piling on costs for residents already struggling to keep up, sparking outrage over this unconventional revenue grab.
The push comes as Maryland grapples with a gaping $3.3 billion budget deficit, driving progressive leaders to unleash a flurry of tax hikes amid a worsening affordability crisis. With power bills soaring to record levels—thanks to failed green energy policies—residents now face yet another burden. Critics argue this latest measure, layered on top of the existing 6% sales tax, hits Marylanders where it hurts most: their ability to rest.

If far-left Gov. Moore and Democrats are willing to tax Marylanders’ sleep, these woke activists could easily push another bill to tax thinking.
Maryland Dems…
It’s time for common sense to re-enter Maryland politics after decades of Democrats torpedoing the state to the brink of financial crisis. Perhaps the Maryland House Freedom Caucus will be those heroes needed to rescue the imploding state.
