VA legislature wants to unleash a tax firestorm. Hard to believe 4 of the first 5 presidents were Virginians.

New York State won’t be far behind. We are already heavily taxed as it is. Boy you have a pretty state and turn it into a shit show..
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly.
DeleteWhat amazes me is they had a SURPLUS in their budget last FY. Shows you just how greed and spendy Libturds are...
the cities in va to the rest of the state: F YOU.
ReplyDeleteyou forgot to say anything about the PAY raise they want for themselves. I think it was something like 155% of what they already get. after all, that money has to come from somewhere, and who better to pay it than you.
ReplyDeleteand then, they wonder why just about anyone with a brain loathes them ?
Weren't we all supposed to move to battery/electric lawn equipment (and ban racist food packaging) to make this a cleaner world?
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Virginia since 1983. I will be leaving soon. The problem with Virginia is rural voters will not get to the polls. If they had voted, Spanberger would have been forgotten already. The current legislature is so far left that the state will not recover from the lunacy. The conservative Lt Governor candidate - John Reid - is gay. So what? But, I could not get many christians to vote for him. I asked whether they preferred the muslim communist that the democrats were running? It is the same mentality that kept people from voting for Mitt Romney. Romney wasn't great, but at least he wasn't a muslim communist.
ReplyDeleteNo, moving back to Tallahassee where I went to college at FSU.
They got what the fraud earned them, hope the actual voters learn from past mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThen again, we here in Michiganistan are on the same path, the D fraud units are still intact and doing their best to destroy any conservative wins to state office. We have a triumvirate of communists in charge between the Governor, AG and SOS. Going to be interesting come November. At least Wretchen Whitmer is termed out. Benson thinks she can become governor and I have no idea what the f**k Nessel thinks her future is. Vote for anything but D party folks, our survival depends on it.
wasn't a surprise. wasn't our choice either. the machines are fixed. how we know is they banned hand counting votes for any reason. they, the northern districts, always wait until last to announce their vote so they know how much to cheat. now they want internet voting and 3 day late mail-in vote counting. they're so full of themselves, but so was king george and there are still a few with dna of the founders here in the hills. there is a reckoning coming.
ReplyDeleteAll these new taxes are the trademark Demonrat grift. The most laughable one is the new tax for dog walking. R U EFFG KIDN ME?
ReplyDeleteThis from the state that gave us George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Patrick Henry. They'd be stacking bodies like cord wood by now. They all must be spinning like tops to see what's become of their state.
Nemo
Nemo, you forgot Robert E. Lee.
DeleteAnd to the Virginia voters: You voted for this. I hope you get your can full of it.
This report from Virginia of what their new governor is doing? Read this.

No minimum sentences, except for people with clean records who break gun laws, no doubt.
DeleteLet's pass laws to force product compliance; then, when it is in full effect, we tax the new products, and fine tho old ones. Now, we make a law that requires ownership of something, no longer discretionary, then tax that. So, how long before they just decide each person is assigned to a caste, and no matter what you do, you have certain limits and benefits? India was like that until the British took over. India didn't accomplish jack shit before colonization, and still manages to be a major fuck up.
ReplyDeleteAmerican general populous cannot see, or comprehend the correlation of history and future.
Yes Virginia,
ReplyDeleteThose that believe the government is Santa Clause are plotting your enslavement.

I've visited Virginia, although it was a rural area filled with people much like the rest of the country untarnished by politics. Considering them as an example, the only way the state has so much crooked politics either means the population centers are filled with idiots, or the voting apparatus is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.
ReplyDeleteThey also are proposing a delivery tax, probably aimed at Amazon. Of course, I wonder if a state is legally allowed to place a tax on the US Postal Service.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, Amazon is considering dropping their use of the USPS.

Blond governor “elected” is a finished, wrapped, and delivered product of the cia, her ex-bosses. Flawless subversion plant.
ReplyDeleteThe entire central and western part of Old Dominion should split off again from the whole.
Not voting your way out of this.

Me, my wife, and two sons were move by my business in 96 to Northern VA. We found it bad for schools and overall. Our sons finished HS in 04 and 05. In 05 my business moved me and my wife to Atlanta and I was glad to leave. We still have friends in VA. Our sons left VA also and many of their VA friends left NoVA.
ReplyDeleteIn Minneapolis Star v. Minnesota Comm'r, 460 U.S. 575 (1983), the US Supreme Court held that a tax on paper and ink consumed when printing a newspaper violates the First Amendment. Also, back in 1936, the Supreme Court held in Grosjean v. American Press Co., Inc., 297 U.S. 233 (1936) that a tax on advertising in newspapers violated freedom of the press. A very good case may be made that Virginia's guns and ammo tax violates the Second Amendment in a similar way. Unfortunately, leaf blowers are not Constitutionally protected as are guns and newspapers.
ReplyDeleteYes - sad to see. The R party ran a grandmotherly black female and a homosexual. Most rural Virginians I know didn't go vote for that reason. The R's said "vote for this or get devilcrats" So the salt of the earth Virginians stayed home. They know they can ride this out or ignore it. And/or bring truckloads of tax free (Va. tax) ammo , etc from West-By God-Virginia. They have been and continue to do so. County Sheriffs across the Old Dominion are being made aware - do not try and enforce these laws from the CIA shill. It may get ugly but trust me, Virginia Patriots have no fear.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,
Red in Ole Virginny
It is better to hold your nose and vote than to withhold your vote and wind up with the alternative. Trust me on that. The devil you know kind of stuff, or they might be a pos but they're our pos.
DeleteNew goobernator new you. It’s where most of the Washington insiders live, good for them. Not so much for our fellow travelers
ReplyDeleteThis couldn't happen to better people. I applaud virginia for wanting to pay higher taxes to take care of illegal alien invaders, and give their elected reps a substantial pay increase. They deserve everything they are going to get. In case anyone wants to come over, I'm popping lots of popcorn. This is going to the most entertaining.
ReplyDeleteA property tax on landscaping equipment? What's next, taxing the gold in your teeth? We pay tax on the income that we use to buy anything, pay a sales tax to buy it, and now they want us to pay a property tax on the thing that we buy. For Democraps, there is always the ever expanding need to spend our money on their BS.
ReplyDeleteVirginians need to remember their motto, as their current leaders are tyrants. How far we have fallen since our founding; hard to believe that Virginia and Massachusetts were the hotheads of our Revolution and Independence.
In the not distant future, you will be taxed for income from the solar power you sell back to the power company. Discounts for anything will be a taxable event. Count on it. Of course illegals will be given an exemption.
