As governor, Hillary’s High-Tax-Tim tried to hike taxes by billions of dollars
If prospective Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine had his way, Virginia residents would be paying billions in higher taxes. As governor, Kaine sought to impose nearly $4 billion in higher taxes, including an income tax hike on families earning as little as $17,000 a year. He pushed for tax hikes on businesses and higher taxes on distilled spirits and cigarettes:
Income Tax Hike on Working Families: Kaine tried to Increase the bottom tax rate from 5.75% to 6.75%, directly affecting low income families earning as little as $17,000 annually.
Business Tax: Tax increase on businesses collecting sales tax bumping the state rate from 4% to 4.3%
Alcohol Tax: Kaine pushed a 2% markup on distilled spirits.
Cigarette Tax: Kaine pushed a 60-cents per pack cigarette tax increase.
Kaine’s record in support of tax hikes makes him attractive to Hillary, who has proposed a series of tax increases totaling at least $1 trillion over 10 years.

I’ve never met a Rat politician who saw a tax increase they didn’t like.
Just give us your money, peons - we know what to do with it.
Everyone should be required to pay some taxes.
Everyone does. I mean sales tax for one example. What about folks who receive only SS retirement benefits. You think that should be taxed?
Something weird about Kaine. He reminds me as to his appearance of a guy from my old neighborhood who had relatively mild case of Down syndrome, However, unlike Kaine, that guy was a nice, likeable person.
Tim Kaine reminds me of a CREEPY pedofile!!!!
Kandi Kaine’s Virginia taxes everything. Very regressive.

Well, its about the time the poor started paying their fair share.
I would prefer we eliminate the income tax, but if we are going to have one, every American should pay the same percentage with no deductibles...rich and poor alike.
I’m talking income taxes. Why should half the country support the other half?
