Sic Semper Tyrannis: Proposed Va. Grocery Tax Cut But a Return of a "Token Drop"

Virginia sales tax on groceries looks as though it will decrease from 4.0% to 2.5%. Sic Semper Tyrannis aptly observes:

While this tax cut is nice, it is being cleverly used by [Governor] Warner to disguise the way in which he misled the Commonwealth about it's economic health. Now that the tax collectors in Richmond realize they have taken much more of the people's money than they need, they have decided to return a token drop to the empty bucket and keep the rest.
