Democrats won a sweeping election in Virginia, and as we noted last week, they now control all the levers of power.  As a reward to voters, they have proposed raising nearly every conceivable tax. (A dog grooming tax? Really?) Here’s the updated list of proposals tracked by WJLA News:

• • • Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
    • New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
    • Large employer tax
    • Gun and ammunition tax
    • New income tax brackets
    • Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
    • Investment income tax
    • Event tax
    • Storage facility tax
    • Gym membership tax
    • Dog walking tax
    • Dog grooming tax
    • Counseling tax [for those distressed by all the new taxes?]
    • Digital personal property tax
    • New car taxes and highway use fees
