Memo to the NHGOP gubernatorial candidates: The NH-Communists Democrats running for Governor, with a few exceptions, stopped pushing “broad-based” taxes in 1996. Yet a quarter of a century later, the NHGOP continues to insist that this election is about an income tax (and/or a sales tax (which we actually already have, in part, in the form of the room-and-meals tax)). See:
The lodestars for NH-Communists Democrats in 2023 are abortion and climate change … NOT an income tax/sales tax.
An ever shrinking number of voters are persuadable. Assuming the NHGOP can get its voters to vote in the same numbers the NH-Communists Democrats will get their true-believers to vote, the question then becomes how to persuade the potentially persuadable voters. Shouting INCOME TAX, INCOME TAX, INCOME TAX or talking about how to generate affordable single-family homes – not apartment complexes, but homes? HINTS – it’s 2023, not 1993, Joyce Craig is not running on an income tax, and home ownership in New Hampshire is increasingly a perk of the high-income.
