The NH Business Profit Tax (“If you made money, we demand some vigorish” tax) and the NH Business Enterprise Tax (“Simply because you want to do business in NH” tax) will no longer be automatically heading upward.
Ways and Means Chair Susan Almy led the charge to end prosperity in New Hampshire. The Granite State has experienced historical growth in employment and its labor force after a series of business tax cuts were implemented. Democrats disagree on that point not that it matters. They need to raise taxes to pay for their … Read more
A few years ago, Governor Sununu got a whiff of some Federal Wind Money up his skirt, and New Hampshire’s been fondling the idea ever since. But much bluer states with much bluer governors have decided that there’s no way to get there from here )and Bidenomics is partly to blame).
We’ve covered the issue of rising electric rates in the Granite State at length on these pages, and that’s great, but nothing hurts like the experience of opening the envelope and side-eying the actual total each month.
Commuter Rail should not be a priority in New Hampshire for more reasons than I can count, but I’ve counted them for the past 12 years, with some success. Now, it looks like Amtrak has imagined a spur from Masskachusetts to Concord. Why? Seriously, why?
The hubris is impressive. Democrats think they know what an hour of labor is worth in every job but simultaneously make any value they assign to it worthless with their irresponsible economic meddling.
Whatever our thoughts may be about Chris Sununu regarding Emergency orders (not good, if you didn’t notice), he got this one right. New Hampshire, along with Maine, has opted not to sign on to the Transportation Climate Initiative memorandum of understanding.
Progressives initially conceived of the idea of a minimum wage as a way to weed unskilled minorities out of the population. It still works. Low income, unskilled workers are always hit hardest, but even in the current climate (riots, protests, systemic racism), NH Democrats passed a mandatory minimum wage bill anyway.
In late April, New Hampshire Democrats drew a line in the sand. The government had shut down businesses that knee-capped revenues. Decreased revenue would trigger a massive tax increase on job creators. It seems unfair, but these are Democrats. The government always comes first.
Before Chris Sununu took the bait and closed the state, Democrats were screaming for a shutdown. It doesn’t take a political genius to know why. The economy is their foil, and they believe that killing it improves their chances in November.
Grok doesn’t do coordinated sections like newspapers do. Maybe there’s no need. But maybe we should take more interest in things related to business. After all, business determines what’s happening in the economy; at least to the extent the government allows it.
Earlier this week, The Hill published an article saying that College Republicans across the country were backing a group called Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. Here in New Hampshire, College Republicans have been speaking up against this group, because we know that Carbon Dividends are bad for the party, bad for New Hampshire, and bad … Read more
Transportation costs have a direct downstream impact on everything, from the money that comes out of your wallet at the pump to the cost of goods and services. So, as the Left plays word games to support a new regional Transportation Initiative, understand that it isn’t just a gas tax.
Democrats love taxes. What they love more are taxes (or tax increases) upon which they don’t have to vote. The Regional Green House Gas Initiative is just such a scam. But it’s not the only game in town.
The comprises budget signed by Gov. Sununu sucks. It spends more, and it’s got Easter eggs, more suitably named poison pills. But it’s not a total loss. It proves that New Hampshire Democrats were lying about tax hikes.
State Rep. Judy Aron gave us a nice 30,000-foot view of the budget here. But we’ve only just begun to dissect this. Budgets are no longer just exercises of force that redistribute your money. They are vehicles for law-making without public input and that can’t go unreported.
New Hampshire benefits from the Trump’s tax reform. Just as the blind squirrel gets the acorn. The President pushed through Federal tax reform. That action resulted in lower tax rates on businesses. 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
By Sarah Scott In New Hampshire, we have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the direction our economy is going. Record-low unemployment, record-high workforce participation, record-high revenue from business taxes, and top economic growth in the region make for an environment of opportunity that is lifting Granite Staters up the economic ladder. Gov. … Read more
Governor Sununu vetoed the New Hampshire Democrat’s awful, terrible, irresponsible budget. He had several reasons, but one of the biggest and best was that it raises taxes on job creators.
Press Release | Concord, NH- House Republican Leader Dick Hinch (R-Merrimack) issued a statement following the House vote of 207-143 to pass the committee of conference report for SB10, relative to the state minimum hourly rate.
