[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia said the cost of living is too high. It’s a complaint she said she had heard over and over from people living across her state. And Democrats across the country, she said, are focused on affordability.

Spanberger’s assessment of Trump’s speech: He has offered no solutions to the nation’s most pressing issues.

And yet, Spanberger and legislative Democrats in VA are about to make the cost of living much higher for Virginians. Talk about hypocrisy.[/quote]

Here’s a list of new taxes and tax increases Democrats, led by Spanberger,  have proposed in Richmond:

Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Gun and ammunition tax
New income tax brackets
Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
Investment income tax
Event tax
Storage facility tax
Gym membership tax
Dog walking tax
Dog grooming tax
Counseling tax
Digital personal property tax
New car taxes and highway use fees
Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington
Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)
Vehicle repair tax
Home repair tax
Dry cleaning tax
Rideshare tax
Fantasy sports tax

Spanberger did not propose these—state lawmakers did. And she has not endorsed these proposed taxes.[/quote]
