by Op-Ed

by Grover Norquist | Democrat Budget Would Have Raised Taxes on Businesses and Vapers. New Hampshire has long been thought of as a low tax state, governed frugally and therefore a strong competitor among the 50 states to attract job-creating investment, talent, and young families.

New Hampshire’s “Crumbs” – Federal Tax Reform Produces “Abnormal Rise” in Business Tax Revenue

September 26, 2018May 12, 2018

by Steve MacDonald

This week the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute (NHFPI) issued some analysis on the “abnormal rise” in New Hampshire Business tax revenue. Their conclusion? It is likely due to Federal Tax Reform.

As of the end of April, the BPT and BET together are about $90.8 million (16.9 percent) above plan for the year, and $107.0 million (20.6 percent) above April 2017. Although these two business taxes have been the primary source of the surplus during the year, the post-TCJA rise has dwarfed other revenue sources, even those that are major contributors.

Screw The “Most Vulnerable?”

September 26, 2018May 17, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

This morning’s Union Leader reported the passage of a bill in the New Hampshire House that would ban any tax on internet access. They also reported that it included $1.7 million in funding for the reduction of the developmentally disabled services wait list. The vote margin was 245-80, with the majority of dissenters on the Democrat side.

If this reporting is accurate the scope of the lefts hypocrisy here might be epic. Internet and broadband access have been used as a left wing class, warfare, dirge. Voting to tax it is not exactly “pro less-fortunate” nor pro-more “in need of internet access.” But to vote against funding the disabled services list again?
