I love it! "The largest tax hike in VA history!". Where do these numbers come from? Were Virginians sent to the poor house because his new tax collection police sahowed up at their door? Did people immediately see their withholdings go up so much they could not afford to put food on the table or give money to their Christian Church of choice?
One example of critical thinking - a couple years ago the toll for the Fort McHenry went up. It had stayed the same toll $1 for 20 years. Since the toll doubled to $2, opponents of the then Governor called this - guess what - "the Largest tax hike in the history of Maryland".
Any time someone makes a claim like this think to yourself "what are they really saying"" and "based upon what facts". You will do better in life.
