A Democrat in the Virginia state Senate has called Republicans in the House “a mob” for not falling in line and supporting the tax-increasing budget that just about every other politician in the state seems to want. (Funny how it’s “a mob” that now defends me, in Prince William County, from a Richmond shakedown.) Republicans in the Senate appear to want the tax hike as much as Democratic Gov. Mark Warner, who got this business started a few weeks ago. Warner is arguing in favor of the tax increase on radio this way: “”I’ve got my kids talking to me, saying, ‘Dad, why can’t they just compromise?’ ” Memo to Virginia House Republicans: Make Warner tell his kids, “It’s because real Republicans don’t compromise on taxes.”
