Before Governor Sununu vetoed the tax-hike, big spending, abortion funding, littered with left-wing priorities budget, he vetoed something else. A new broad-based tax disguised and sold as a necessary social good only the State could provide.

Say Hello to the Claremont Income Tax … and Thank You to our Wonderful Attorney General

Dirty Dan Feltes Says Sununu Lied About Paid Family Leave – But Dirty Dan is the Liar
Chris Sununu supports some sort of legisaltive action on the issue-du-jour of Paid Family Leave. On this, we disagree. And we couldn’t disagree if he wasn’t trying, which he is. Which means Democrat Sen. Dan Feltes claims Sununu lied – is a lie.
Governor Sununu VETOES the Democrats’ Income Tax!

Family Medical Leave Insurance Boondoggle
More state mandated insurance The NH’s Democrat legislature is going to pass a bill establishing a system of paid family and medical leave insurance.

Emails Reveal ‘Taxation Is Theft’ Phrase is Driving NH Democrats Bonkers
Since Democrats took over a majority in both the New Hampshire House and Senate, they have been on a drunken late-night ‘Amazon Prime’ spending spree with YOUR tax dollars.

Facepalm of the Day – ‘Property Tax is an Income Tax’
Democrats are trying to push their government-run, mandated ‘Paid Family Leave’ program (Senate Bill 1) which is, as most correctly understand, a tax on Granite Stater’s income.

New Hampshire’s Democrat-Lead Legislature Passes an Income Tax
by Elliot Axelman On Tuesday, March 19th, the Democrat-controlled House passed SB1, the state income tax bill that passed the State Senate last month.

Data Point – who pays MORE than their “fair” share?
That would be the 50% of Americans who pay the 97% of the income tax taken by the Federal Government:
Bloomberg looked into the 2016 individual returns data in detail for some additional insights illustrated in the charts below:
- The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent).
- The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of total individual income taxes.
That’s just the Feds. Now crank in all of the income taxes taken in by
Data Point – Individual Income Taxes set record

Keith Erf – candidate for NH State House, Hillsborough County 2 (Weare/Deering)
I’m Keith Erf, candidate for state representative in Weare and Deering. I’m running for State representative to champion limited government. I’ve lived in Weare for 37 years. My wife, Louisa, and I raised four children here where they attended Weare schools.
I started my business, KyTek, in 1991 developing automated systems for the publishing industry. As a small business owner and member of the Weare Finance Committee, I’ve seen firsthand how NH business taxes, property taxes and expanding government negatively impacts our communities. We need representation in Concord that fights for our best interests, limiting government and taxation so current and future generations can afford to live and work in our community.
As a member of the Weare Finance Committee, I look to find a taxpayer-friendly balance between the needs of the town and schools and the costs to our residents. From the vantage point of the Finance Committee I have learned that we need representation in Concord that will avoid legislation that places costs on Weare and Deering requiring us to increase our local property taxes.
There’s a reason why NH ranks much higher than Maine
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
“…The compilation data is stunning.
In many of the selected reports, Maine lagged far behind New Hampshire for competitiveness for new industry, tax burden, cost of doing business, workforce education, infrastructure, regulatory environment and labor supply. New Hampshire came in, nationally, as the 15th best state in terms of business climate and taxation — the best in New England, by a long shot. Maine’s average score designated our state the 34th best for business climate, trailing every other New England state except Connecticut.
But the rub becomes apparent when one studies the data.
HB628 Was Never About Creating a Family Medical Leave Insurance Program.
Since late 2017, leading up to today, we’ve written or shared at least twenty-three articles opposing HB628, the so-called Family Medical Leave Act. This makes (at least) twenty-four. Why so many? Until very recently neither the governor nor Republican Majority leadership had made a noise that wasn’t fawning.
And while a recent joint committee vote to ITL the bill has people singing praises, until the floor vote adds a final stake (at least for this session) I’m not convinced it’s dead with good reason.
If the Tax On Income Isn’t Troubling Enough…
The proposed Family Medical leave legislation will create an income tax but there’s plenty more wrong with this bill if the tax isn’t enough. Elliott Axelman joins me to discuss the many troubling facets of this awful piece of legislation (HB 628). Original Blog Page Post can be Found Here
