Comments on: Left on the table http://www.7-west.org/2009/04/09/left-on-the-table/ The Virginia General Assembly from the perspective of 7 West. Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:25:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.2 By: Tess Ailshire http://www.7-west.org/2009/04/09/left-on-the-table/comment-page-1/#comment-1947 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:10:50 +0000 http://www.7-west.org/?p=832#comment-1947 Unfortunately, Chris, Ms. Amundson’s comment that the “Party of No” did something bad for Virginia (a debatable point, in my opinion) does nothing to bring us together.

If I read the list correctly, this was not completely a party-line vote, unlike many others in Virginia.

I believe that most people are beginning to understand that we are “all in this together” and that we need to support those who have been hurt by the greed of others.

And if you truly believed that, why didn’t you propose to impose that tax on employees, not employers?

Perhaps because you know your assertion is a lie?
