Mark Warner Votes To Eliminate 20K Virginia Jobs; Tim Kaine Approves
Virginia’s outgoing senior U.S. Senator Jim Webb did the right thing yesterday and voted against the Democratic plan to raise taxes on individuals who earn over $200K a year and families who earn over $250K a year (this includes small business owners who file as S-corporations subject to personal tax rates.)
Webb felt so strongly about this that he took to the Senate floor during debate to proclaim, ”I will not vote to raise taxes on ordinary income of any amount.“
His colleague Mark Warner voted for it.
Let me repeat that. Mark Warner voted to raise taxes, including those of many small business owners.
Furthermore, senate candidate Tim Kaine came down on the same side as Warner and would have voted along with him had he been in the Senate.
How does this impact Virginia? According to a new Ernst and Young economic study on the impacts of raising taxes on those making above the aforementioned amounts, it would decrease economic output in Virginia by $5.8 billion and put 19,900 people out of work.
We don’t need TWO Butt-heads in the Senate from Virginia. One is more than enough…

Mr. Riley is not far from “liar, liar, pants on fire” with his citation of the alleged E & Y Study. When one goes to Riley’s cite, bingo, it is to NFIB, which of course is the National Federation of Small Business….which, if is the payer for the E & Y Study, and E & Y is the payee, well, bingo, pay me a $1 dollars and i will write whatever you want, even though my study will come up with some outlandish make believe numbers for you!! hohoho
Except Ernst and Young is not some fly-by night like you and they depend upon their credibility for their business. So what if NFIB paid for it? Of course they want to know what the impact is going to be on their members. No one is out there doing such a study for free, Ken.
I thought you were more worldly than this Mr. Riley……………E & Y is not “fly-by-night” but as you should know, all of these firms write around the needs of the payer!! AND you should know that it is highly unusual for companies such as these to write against their paying masters…………..And perhaps more important, the numbers cited are really incomprehensible. Which leads me to a final point, people like yourself who support protection of the very wealthy from addl taxes are shills/pawns serving the needs of their well-to-do masters
