[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks Fairfax County for the meals tax, the real estate assessment increase, and VA Dems for proposing more taxes. Keep voting blue. Tax and spend, tax and spend. 
Vote [/quote]

I'm good with it. What's your problem?[/quote]

DP
+1
The real estate tax rate remained flat and I voted in favor of the meals tax when it was on the ballot. [/quote]

Great, because people will be subtracting this "meals tax" out of the tips.  People don't like to suddenly pay more. And this also can result in people reducing spending on prepared meals, since unlike RE tax, it's not mandatory.[/quote]

It's 1%. Does it really make a difference in your life?[/quote]

DP. Meals tax is not 1%, it is 4%. Total sales tax on meals is now 10%. Then you are supposed to tip another 20%. Then many of the restaurants we go to raised prices at the start of the year. A $40 meal a year ago is now $55 for a family of 4 at our favorite place. It's all compounded together. Instead of going every weekend like we used to, we're now skipping some weeks. [/quote]
