Carol Shea-Porter: The Federal Governments Representative To New Hampshire CD- 1

May 17, 2013

I have long and often argued that Democrats, New Hampshire’s variety in particular, favor the top down model of governance.  The power and the resources (money) must descend from the point farthest from the person who is taxed for the privilege of being governed by progressives. A prime example or proof of this “theory” is [ Read more ]

Three Million Dollar Taxpayer Funded FRM Bailout?

May 1, 2013

Today there will be a House Committee vote on SB180, a bill establishing a taxpayer funded bailout fund for investors who got swindled by the FRM Mortgage ponzi scheme. I’ll be honest.  I’m not interested in any particulars on this.  The amended cost for the legislation is $3,000,000.00 dollars (initially) to pay off investors who read some paperwork  [ Read more ]

Tyranny: Democrat Socialists of America in the US House saying (Ah-gain) “you don’t need all that and you didn’t earn it anyways!”

April 28, 2013

So they believe that if you have too much private property (too much cash), they have the perfect way to steal it from you: write a bill!  After all, it isn’t FAIR that you have earned so much by stealing it from the poor and middle class.  They have far better purposes for what your [ Read more ]

Newest Democrat House Member Bill O’Neil – Clueless in Concord

April 4, 2013

Gun manufacturers leaving Colorado – now Connecticut’s turn to lose jobs and tax money?

April 3, 2013

Good title – but this might be just as applicable: Is the US stratifying / splitting over culture and values?  Are the gun grabbers making this go faster? After all, what good is it to stay in a State that has made it illegal to sell, transfer, or effectively transport your wares?  Or that your [ Read more ]

New Hampshire House Votes to Raise Tobacco Taxes

March 21, 2013

The ten cent resolution, that one thin (not so thin) dime New Hampshire Republicans cut off the tobacco tax two years ago, expires shortly.   At the time it was proposed and passed the left was so insane with outrage that you’d have thought Republicans were selling guns to foreign drug lords across the border who were killing agents [ Read more ]

Tax cut - Democrat dictionary

Tax Cuts:  Money you earned legally that the Democrats did not take from you (yet). Example.  You earn $1000.00 dollars.  The government takes $200.00, but it could have taken $500.00.  In this example, the Democrats gave you a $300.00 dollar tax cut.  (They actually gave you a 500.00 tax cut because none of that money is really [ Read more ]
