Small business is the bedrock of VA. This Gov is just making things worst since in office.

Higher taxes is not the solution for Stafford, VA. We need to grow our small businesses and make it more affordable for them to stay in business. Furthermore, Stafford residents need a break too. Enough is enough!

I started my business in Stafford County 30 years ago. I have been a property owner in Stafford county for 32 years. I have never seen the county do anything for me except raise my taxes. Enough is enough.

Virginia State Taxes are already out of control, now Stafford County wants to raise/create more taxes. As if adding “traffic and safety” cameras all over the place wasn’t enough. No wonder the Federal Government is the only industry feeding the Stafford pay pigs, they’re determined to tax every private non-government business out the county.

My sister owns a small business and we need repairs on our house which will cost twice as much. We are retired and can't afford any more taxes! So much for affordability Spanberger!

We own a pharmacy and our gross sales are usually high if we will high prices brand medications( on which we get reimbursed below wholesale price). This artificially inflated our sales, but in reality we are not making profits reflecting to our gross sales. Pharmacies are one of the businesses which should be exempt from this tax, specifically because the reason mentioned above.

We are taxed more than enough, and what do we get from what we are paying already?

Taxes go up, and it’s not enough. Taxes will continue to go up and it will never be enough. Higher taxes require ordinary people to do more with less. It’s time for the county to do the same.

We own a small business and can barley keep the bottom line with all the taxes and how much supplies has sky rocketed. We don't need any more taxes which will force us to close our doors. The little business can't survive nowadays and just keep getting pushed out.
