RPV Releases New Ad "Tax Wars"

The Republican Party of Virginia released a new web ad today highlighting the only solution Democrats in the Virginia Senate have for the state's budget problems — raising taxes by bringing back the full impact of the Car Tax. The ad can be seen here.

"We've always suspected that Senate Democrats had just one thing on their minds when they came back to Richmond this year, but Wednesday's vote on offshore drilling confirms it," RPV Chairman Pat Mullins said. "The only plan they have to deal with the Commonwealth's budget problems is to reach as deep into taxpayer wallets as possible and grab all they can."

"Democrats in the Senate seem to think 'leadership' and 'solving budgetary problems' means 'raising taxes,'" he said. "The problem is that Virginians who are suffering in this recession can't afford to have their car tax bills double."

"If you like the car tax and want to see your annual bill double, Democrats in the Virginia Senate have you covered," Mullins said. "Meanwhile, Republicans will continue the fight to keep taxes low, remove burdensome regulation and keep Virginia the best place in the country to do business."
