And the dodo birds in my area in the September primary just voted a 3/10's % increase on all of us. So now our sales tax is 8.4%. For the November election the dumbos in state govt want to increase sales tax by 1% to dedicate funds for educational purposes. Nevermind that the reason the voters voted in the lotto and our state was placed in the megamillion drawings ostensibly to provide educational funds. Plus on the ballot is a county wide levy of fees for each household to be charged for drawing water from the underground acquifer. We already pay a minimum for water usage but more dumbos want more money. And you what? Stupid dodo voters will fall for this hook, line and sinker and vote more taxes on themselves and everyone else. Am I angry? You betcha!

I live in Virginia and the last fiscally responsible governor was Doug Wilder, a democrat. The current leftist ran on a platform of not raising the taxes even though his play book had a $900 million tax increase planned for us. As soon as he was inaugurated, he pushed NoVa to raise their sales tax 10%. It was defeated, but the good comrade with the help of Rockefeller Republicrats, raised taxes by $900 million - exactly the amount he denied. Now it turns out the deficit was overblown and we will have a surplus of $300 million. Are we getting the tax cut. Nooooooo. It's going into a rainy day fund which is bureaucratic speak for paying off squeaky wheels come election season.
