Democrat Fairfax VA embraces its inner Tea Party

Like those grassroots conservatives in tricorner hats, heavily Democratic Fairfax county also thinks it is Taxed Enough Already. “The wealthy but uncharitable socialist ceases to be a mystery once you understand relative prices. Voluntary charity is costly to the giver, but voting for charity … is virtually free.” Well, as Democrats and big Obama supporters, they probably consider themselves occupy-friendly. But as the nation’s 2nd richest county, they are the one percent.

  • All the folks who work in Washington DC live in the surrounding counties in Virgina, Maryland, etc. Are we surprised that they don't want THEIR pockets picked?

  • I guess all those feel good social programs are getting a bit pricey. Can we jack their taxes up even more for being stupid? That's the way to stimulate the economy, a surcharge for every time a liberal / progressive does something stupid.

  • OMG the end of times must be here. The people of Fairfax County VA feel they are taxed enough. It was the taxes that drove me out of there after college in 1989.
