In the aftermath of yesterday’s debate:
Question for Kilgore: If the tax increase was so unnecessary that you flog Tim Kaine with it every chance you get, and if Virginia is enjoying a budget surplus that far surpasses the size of the tax increase, then why the heck won’t you try to to roll back the increase? If you’re not willing to return some or all of the tax increase to taxpayers, then your attacks on Kaine amounts to nothing more than ritualistic campaign rhetoric. If you’re not willing to roll back the tax increases, nothing significant sets you apart from Kaine.
Bingo.
This is problem #1. If we don’t get back on track on this issue – set aside all else – then what separates us indeed?
