Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va) ran on a platform of making Virginia more affordable. Now she and the expanded Democrat majority in the legislature are set on imposing new taxes on dog walking and grooming, guns and ammunition, storage facilities, dry cleaning, home repairs, electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment, and creating some new income tax brackets.
The Governor admitted that "these new taxes seem like they will raise the cost of living for the folks that spend money on these items. However, none of the things we're putting new taxes on are necessities. No one needs to own a dog, much less have it walked or groomed by a professional. I say either walk and groom your dog yourself, or better still, get rid of it. You'll save tons by not having another mouth to feed--a similar benefit you'd get by aborting rather than birthing your next child."
"No private citizen needs to own a gun," she added. "The Supreme Court ruled that we can't outlaw guns, but we can deter them by making it more expensive to buy them and their ammunition. Fewer Virginians will choose to own guns because they can't afford them. The money they save from not buying them could be spent on something else or simply given away to a homeless person who needs it more than you do."
"Why rent storage space when you can easily get rid of the frivolous stuff you have accumulated throughout your lifetime?" she asked. "You might even be able to move to a smaller apartment and lower your rent. We're just trying to stimulate folks to select lower cost lifestyles that will be both more affordable and provide the government with more revenue to invest in bringing the warmth of collectivism to more people in our state."

This is the kind of attitude that led the Founding Fathers to break free of the crown of England.
Abigail Spanberger: Small Business Killer Extraordinaire.
Essentially, the same argument that Obama made when he claimed that higher gasoline prices would save money since the more expensive gasoline would force you to buy less gasoline.
Sort of like a tax on tea 250 years ago. How’d that work out?
“Politicians say, ‘More taxes, will solve everything!’.........and the band played on!”
Well that's might white of her. I guess it's ok then. It's not like they are taxing air. Although if you look close enough, I bet there may be an increased water FEE.
OKay you Virginians. Cough up the guns. Your mommy, Little Abbie Spamburger wants them. Use your gun money to pay more taxes and to buy smokes for the homeless.
This is VERY true. All you Freepers need to put your money in a big pot in which I can pull all the money I need to pay all my bills. Call it a fairness and equality benefits fee.
Example #1,000,001 of elections have consequences. The Dems are going to wipe out any gains made under Younkin and turn it into California on the Potomac.
...
For example, the tax on a pair of dice was half a pound. With an over 200x inflation rate since then, that's over £100 tax for them now.
I am so glad I no longer live in Virginia. It was unbearable four years ago. It is Hell on Earth now.
She ran as common sense moderate when she was nothing but leftist rat like all the others. The idiots bought it and now they are getting it good and hard.
In the future, may the people who voted for Demonicrat Abigail Spanberger have their children spit on their graves.
Elections matter.
I BOUGHT MY FIRST HOUSE IN 1966.
I HAVE PROBABLY HAD 13-16 DOGS SINCE IN 2 MORE PROPERTIES.
THEY ARE BEYOND USEFUL AS GUARD ANIMALS.
THIS GOV CAN STHU
“… may the people who voted for Demonicrat Abigail Spanberger have their children spit on their graves.”
Likely most of those children will be leftists too. Instead if spitting on their parents’ graves, they’ll be spitting on teachers, congregants, police and decent Americans.
Virginia’s CIA Governor, to go with the CIA Senator.
“Well that’s might white of her.” Yes, and that is not even a remotely racist remark. She just has no blood in her veins. She is the ice queen.
