The Governor who couldn’t stop himself from proposing tax hikes on Virginians says during the Fairfax debate with George Allen that he’s open to a minimum federal income tax on everyone.

Unfortunately, Allen will demogogue it and likely win by running to the left instead of winning as a conservative.

When your opponent lights himself of fire, you don't offer a bucket of water. You pour gasoline on him. The conservative position is less taxes. The 47% who pay no income taxes is a Sean Hannity talking point. The working poor, and middle class, pay plenty of taxes - state, city, sales, property, meals, etc.

We are talking federal taxes, not state, city, sales etc. This is a senate race. And what exactly is the working poor or middle class? Every single person I have ever talked to says they are in the middle class, from the my doctor with a waterfront house to the woman in front of me at Food Lion with the EBT card. There are multiple levels of government in this country and everyone should have skin in every game or that 47%, which is growing, will keep voting for the socialists.

“The MSM will come to his rescue”

They will call him courageous and cutting edge. They will lie about his poll numbers. They will carry his water.

I’m sure that Kaine or the media’s clarification will state that the minimum only applies to the 53% who actually pay taxes. The minimum means that they can’t use tax loopholes to hide their money.

Obama won by 53%.

What 47% of America is getting “handouts”?
