New Hampshire Democrat Wants to “Revoke …Tax Cuts Businesses Didn’t Ask For”

May 21, 2019September 13, 2018

Remember when we said your voting record matters? We’ve got another example, and it ties in nicely with our congratulations to Republican Dan Hynes on his election win. He beat out one of those squishy Republicans with a lousy voting record in the State Senate District 9 primary. Terry Wolf is reputed to be a Bill Greiner special. Greiner runs Bedford, if you hadn’t heard. He owns the Town council, blah blah, blah.

Wolf is rumored to be Greiner’s Republican of preference. Soft on everything especially the Republican Platform and the NH and US Constitution. She lost, in part because of the same efforts by grassroots groups and activists to retire other Republicans with bad voting records.

But we’ve no time to pat ourselves on the back because the Democrat challenger for this seat is a bigger threat to liberty than Terry Wolf.

“Ax The Property Tax” and Replace it With What?

Mark Fernald is a Democrat running for the New Hampshire State Senate. His campaign signs say “Ax the Property Tax.” If that sounds too good to be true it is because it is.

Let’s remind people why we split from King George and beat the Redcoats

Only $15 (down from $22.95) – isn’t competition and Capitalism grand?

No, this is not an ad by Libertarian COuntry on the ‘Grok. Rather, it’s a reminder of how far stalwart Liberty loving Americans (as opposed to the Berni-bros and Ocasio-Cortez’ers slouching to Socialism) were willing to stand up to abusers and oppressors. Taxation for a limited Government is a necessary evil – having more taken from you just so that those in power believe you aren’t doing the right things with your money so they HAVE to take it from you is both insulting – and theft. The fact that our “public morality” has been so perverted by Progressives such as Steve Marchand, Mark Fernald, and Molly Kelly (just to name three Socialists running as Democrats – but I repeat myself) should be frightening. You see, no matter HOW much they take from you, it is never enough.

Nothing says real volunteer grassroots like “pay is $12.00 an hour”, eh Mark Fernald?

From a reader comes this missive from Mark “I WANT AN INCOME TAX on NH workers!!” Fernald. I guess it is a NH Democrat Value that “Grassroots” doesn’t mean what it does to Conservative activists – not just the passion about an issue or candidate, nor for the feeling of banding together voluntarily to get something done. That’s all that most Conservatives want. It seems, however, that not enough Progressive activists have the will – I guess “being passionate” comes with a price tag (emphasis mine, reformatted to be more bloggish):

Dear Readers:

Here’s an opportunity to do some paid canvassing in the next five weeks.

Mark Fernald

Grassroots Solutions ((www.grassrootssolutions.com), a national political field organization, is looking for dedicated individuals to join its New Hampshire Democratic Canvass Team 2012 and go door-to-door to talk with New Hampshire voters in Manchester and other areas in New Hampshire about the upcoming election. Maybe you are a student with no afternoon classes, a parent whose children are off to college, or someone who works the night shift in your current job but would like to earn extra money. If you are at least 18 years old and enjoy talking with people about important issues that affect their lives and the lives of their families and community, then we are interested in hearing from you. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to gain experience in the world of politics. It is a fast paced and dynamic job in a Presidential election year. The pay is $12.00 an hour and you have the potential to gross over $2,500 between now and the November election. You will be paid either by check or direct deposit every two weeks.

Mark Fernald Needs New Material for His Income Tax Arguments

September 26, 2018July 23, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

Mark Fernald wants New Hampshire to have an income tax before he dies. It appears to be one of his deepest desires. So desperate is this need that he is willing to reuse debunked rhetoric to ensure he is not prohibited from having the chance to get one.

Yesterday, over at Windham Patch, Fernald had the income tax equivalent of a recurring rash as “Fair Share class warfare” sores rose up from the page in his opposition to CACR 13. CACR 13 is a Sttate constitutional amendment that would ban New Hampshire from taxing personal income. But such a prohibition for Mr. Fernald would be akin to the death of the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia to Dead Heads. “Well now what do we do with all our free time.” So Mr. Fernald has gone on the offensive (as in, to offend).

We have a tax system that is made by and for the top 1 percent. The households in New Hampshire with the highest incomes – the 1 percent with incomes $480,000 and up – on average pay just over 2 percent of their incomes in state and local tax. The folks in the middle, on average, pay about 6 percent. The lowest income people have the highest tax burden. They pay, on average, over 8 percent of their income in state and local tax.

I’ve been over this deception more than once, but I am more than happy to revisit it every time Mark wants to bring it up–which will be often between now and Noveber.

Mark Fernald as “Hugh Jihass”

September 26, 2018January 24, 2011

by Steve MacDonald

Does Democrat Mark Fernald do the letters to the editor follow up over at Fosters Daily Democrat or is he just complicit? Amidst a series of letters posted on January 14th at Fosters.com is a smarmy bit of left wing drool authored by one Hugh Jidette. Fernald liked the letter so much that he shared it on his email distribution list saying…

Here’s an excellent letter from Foster’s Daily Democrat. I encourage all to write their own letters to expose what the right wing is up to.

Mark Fernald

Forget what the right wing has been up to, what has Fosters and Mark Fernald been up to?

Hugh Jidette is a false name. Huge Jidette (Huge Debt) appears as a fake Presidential Candidate to deliver awareness ads about out of control spending and the risks of borrowing on the scale the democrats embraced. Hugh was all about borrowing money. But Some on the left spun that and sold it to their peeps as proof that the Republicans were lying about taxes and using the campaign to justify slashing the deficit to punish hard working civil servants. That exact same theme has found its way here in the letter published in Fosters, by a Hugh Jidette from Rochester, but with a local spin. The national left wing meme viewed through a granite state filter.

But we have no way of knowing if it was written by Fernald himself, Kathy Sullivan, Ray Buckley, The Center for American Progress, ‘Norris Cotton’ over at Red Hampshire, or by Fosters Editorial Staff.

One thing we do know is that the person vetting letters over at Fosters should change their name to Hugh Jihass, and that by forwarding it as if it were written by an actual local resident, Fernald looks like a Hugh Jihass as well.

Once you have finished giggling, and before some democrat named Huge Jidette from Rochester comes forward to take credit, the text of Fernald’s Email is available on the jump, followed by an example of some original video put out in the debt awareness campaign.
