It also has the effect of encouraging investments in communities across each state. Yes, that includes New Hampshire. Tax rates go down… Economic … Read more
The Democrats voted against tax reform. One of the narratives of choice was that the middle-class tax cuts were not permanent. Democrat congresswoman Kuster’s press release on why she opposed the reforms is typical. “I support real tax reform that starts with middle-class families and small businesses,” said Congresswoman Kuster. “Unfortunately, the plan forced through … Read more

Nancy Pelosi announced that one of the first things Democrats will do when they regain control is to repeal and replace recent Republican Tax reforms. And she promises it will be bipartisan and done in daylight, (unlike healthcare reform, I guess). So, what might that look like? If previous proposals are any indication, Pelosi plans on … Read more
Kurt Schlichter has a new piece at Townhall titled, “The Joy and Necessity of Driving Liberals Nuts,” which is not at all unlike what we do around here. With pleasure, I might add. But is that all this is? Is our movement simply about slamming the people we’re annoyed at and nothing more? Of course … Read more

For nothing is more “Democratic” than the mantra “your money is our money – you just haven’t realized it yet”. They proclaim “why can’t we do this; we are a wealthy country” as if they truly believe that your money IS their money to spend because y’all are all too stupid and dopey to spend … Read more

The US Senate has passed a tax reform package. The Washington Post’s opening paragraph is a predictable spin on the left-wing narrative. Yuge breaks for corporations, a mixed bag for everyone else. Over at Red State, where they’ve been critical of Trump and this plan (and the Senate) for months, the tone was a bit different.
…haven’t gone back to “regular order”, jammed up against funding deadlines and AGAIN have to pass a crappy “Continuing Resolution”. But they seem to be all in on Obama’s unconstitutional DACA and “making it all better” – after years of whining this was THEIR job and not his. So WHEN are the DC Republicans going to … Read more
The Democrat/Progressive supermajorities that voted to override Governor Scott’s vetoes of laws that resulted in the massive property tax bills most Vermonters are receiving this month are now spinning the line that they did the responsible – nay courageous — thing by kicking the can down the road and appointing yet another panel of (mostly) … Read more
If you thought the biggest, most brazen political lie from this past week was “Joe Biden is sharp as a tack,” you would be wrong.

Vermont taxpayers are desperate for relief, especially in regard to funding public education. The only way to provide that relief is to return spending levels on Pre-K to 12th to something resembling normal pre-Covid levels.
Democrats in the State House were parading around this week with a banner insisting, “If you make a mess, you clean it up!” Yeah! Big talk! They think this should apply to oil companies regarding climate change (another story I’ll get to soon), but apply that message to themselves regarding the colossal property tax tsunami … Read more
