West Virginia's Historic Tax
Increase Plan (House Bill 2704),
proposed by the Republicans in the
House of Delegates, will add dozens
of new taxes on West Virginia's
working families. Speaker of the
House Tim Armstead (R-Kanawha)
and his finance team, Eric Nelson
(R-Kanawha) and Eric Householder
(R-Berkeley), used back room
maneuvering to hijack a bill on the
last day to pass bills out of
committee and filled it up with
brand new taxes on middle class
West Virginians.
The Republican leadership could
not spend~the whole sess:ion
delivering financial benefits to their
corporate friends without taxpayers
getting the bill. Still, House
Republican leadership waited until
the last possible moment to spring
the largest tax hike in a generation
on workers.
These new taxes include:
Death Taxes: The Republican
plan taxes your estate planning with
a brand new tax on making out a
will. Further, it will tax you after you
die with a new funeral tax.
Animal Taxes: New taxes on you
furry friends an their trips to the vet
are included in the Republican tax
package.
Nursing Home Taxes: A new
nursing home tax that will hurt our
vulnerable seniors the most when
they have already paid their fair
share and can no longer earn income
to offset the new taxes.
