Virginia Gone Wild

Recently
reading David J. Harris Jr’s Facebook post and
supported by the TV news report shared from the Based Mother on
Facebook we
are learning that there is no tax to be not on the table for Virginia. Virginia
went from having a moderate Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, to
an off the wall wolf in sheep’s clothing Democrat governor, Abigail
Spanberger.
Looking
at the list as shown below, it looks like Virginia is preparing for
some type of Armageddon. The Armageddon is the loss of the Federal
DC Bloat in the northeast corner highlighted by Arlington and
Alexandria. Loss of these jobs can have a fast impact on the
finances of the state.
But
does creating a tax climate that makes living and business more
expensive save a state? Will tourists stay or visit when they find
out that their trip will be riddled with additional tax expense? Is
this what the residents of Virginia really voted for?
I
joke with people who will record a sporting event or television show
so they can watch and skip over the commercials, or watch streaming
content with commercials that do not allow you forward past the
commercials that I have no problems with commercials. In part of my
life my paycheck was backed by commercials when I was an on the air
radio personality. Without that financial support I would have been
doing something else.
Will
the raft of government workers in Virginia take my approach to
commercials and parallel it to their situation? How about those who
lose their government jobs? Will they take my approach to hustle the
next gig or create a business or opportunity? Will they depend on
the government to live and not try the private sector. Is there not
a need to put real businesses in Arlington and Alexandria?
An
additional note. States like California and Illinois are looking to
propose these draconian taxes if they are not using then now. Do
they think they will fair any better considering both are currently
losing population.
Prove
me wrong Virginia, but I bet many will leave also unless your
residents come up with something else to do to make a living
therefore nullifying this need for government control and taxation!
Look
at the bills Virginia Democrats are attempting to pass now that they
have majority.

A bill that would prohibit requiring verification of nonprofits that
receive federal dollars “So it's like an anti anti-fraud measure”
