Dear Friend,
Did you know that the newly empowered progressive majority in the Virginia General Assembly passed nearly two dozen changes to the tax code this year?
All of those changes either raise existing taxes or create new taxes.
Worse: These are the insidious kinds of taxes A little gas tax here, a cigarette tax there, an entertainment tax over there to go along with your meals tax ... and don't forget a "games of skill tax" and even a plastic bag tax! Very few people know these taxes are coming. And they start taking effect on July 1.
No single tax is overwhelming. But taken together, these taxes point the way down a new road in Virginia. And we believe the public needs to learn about them.
That's why the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy created The Road to Higher Taxes, a brochure explaining all 23 of these tax changes. Some are state-wide; some are regional.
And some authorize local counties to impose new taxes - which means the fight shifts from Richmond to 134 local jurisdictions throughout Virginia. That's why I hope you will re-email this brochure to your friends, family and neighbors.
You can also reprint your own copies and give them out. You can download your copy by clicking here.
This is what you and I are up against now. It is the future of the Old Dominion, and we want Virginians to know where the road is taking us -- and to be ready to fight against what is coming in the next General Assembly session.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
