The “leaders” of the NH-House GOP apparently believe that the voters in New Hampshire are Koch-bots, that their most important issue is cutting business taxes. Stated slightly differently, it’s as if the goal of these “leaders” is not winning elections and gaining actual voting-control of the House, but rather getting a pat on the head and an attaboy from the local Koch organization.
It’s really not that complicated. Any voter who thinks cutting business taxes is the most important issue is already going to vote for the candidate with the “R” after his name. The best that focusing on cutting business taxes is going to achieve with the rest of voters … the vast, vast majority of voters … is NOTHING, and more likely will alienate voters being crushed by high local property taxes and who have seen the NHGOP fail to deliver real wins … not paper wins … on CRT and DEI.
So this is what inspired this post:
It’s also worth mentioning that the NH-House GOP leaders are speaking the language of the Democrats and the GOP-elite. Taxes are NOT “revenues.” Taxpayers, whether they are businesses or humans, are forced to pay taxes. There is no choice. Taxes are TAXES.
Essentially what the NH-House GOP leaders are telling voters is that they intend to, yet again, do absolutely NOTHING about stratospheric local school taxes (such as a HARD cap), because what really matters to them is getting a pat on the head and an attaboy from Koch-world.
