A good hint might be the actions the new Democrat Governor of VA has made just a few days into her role, following her promises of making things more “affordable” for Virginians.
Among others, she (and the new Democrat legislature, so they’ll go through) are to;
1) Add in a 4.8% tax on investment income
2) Rejoin some green initiative, which will increase electric bills an average of $1100 a year per family
3) Add a tax for deliveries by Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Uber, etc.
4) Reverse Youngkin’s direction for local police to work with ICE, and turn VA into a sanctuary state, thereby placing more of a tax burden of Virginia earner,
So…my sense of what Dems mean by “affordable” is to raise money on the backs of the middle class in order to keep up welfare programs for people who can’t or refuse to support themselves.
