Pumps' Perplexities

Here in Virginia a new governor was elected by the name of
Tim Kaine......During his campaign period he promised not
to raise taxes......Eight days after his inauguration he is
proposing a tax increase on new car purchases from 3% to
5%....Sounds like a tax increase to me.....(Although some
say he did not promise not to raise taxes on anything to
do with transportation).....

What also gets me is that the Va. Auto Dealers Assoc.
donated nearly $100,000 to his election campaign.....
Since a $400 tax increase on the purchase of a $20,000
will effect car prices and sales, how is that for a
"Thank You"......

It is said that the ghost of Diogenes now roams the streets
of Richmond, at night, with his lighted lantern looking
for an honest politician......Pumps
