Nashua Senator Cindy Rosenwald thinks that she and the Democrat party know how to raise your children and manage your money better than you do. Rosenwald sponsored a bill for mandatory COVID vaccines for school children, and voted to keep parents in the dark about what their children are learning in school.

Baghdad Bob Is Alive And Well … And “Covering” Politics For WMUR
by Ed Mosca
Remember Baghdad Bob? The Iraqi information minister during second Iraq War who became famous for his absurd pronouncements of Iraqi military triumphs in the face of one abject defeat after another. Ever wonder what happened to him? Well I have found him. He is alive and well and “covering politics” for WMUR: “Tax equity”. That … Read more
How we’ll get a state income tax
I was in the audience last night at Richards School in Newport for Andru Volinksy’s dog and pony show on school funding in New Hampshire.
I got the chance to ask a question, which was, roughly: Is there any interpretation that the Supreme Court could come up with, that is so outlandish, so contrary to common English usage — like deciding that from now on, ‘green’ actually means ‘blue’, or that in Article 19, the word ‘all’ now means ‘some’ — that the legislature would be justified in saying, ‘No, we’re not going to listen to you’?

Question 1: Live Free or Tax Harder
By Lee Schalk, National Taxpayers Union State Affairs Manager
Whichever way they identify themselves politically, Granite State citizens who abide by the “Live Free or Die” motto tend to agree that government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. For New Hampshire, one of the State’s trademark features is its lack of a personal state income tax, and Question 1 is an opportunity to enshrine that freedom in the constitution.
Positioned in the Northeast amongst largely liberal leaning, tax-and-spend states, New Hampshire has remained one of the most attractive states for businesses and individuals, thanks to the absence of punitive state income and sales taxes. In fact, New Hampshire was recently ranked seventh in the Tax Foundation’s 2013 State Business Tax Climate report, while the rest of the Northeast failed to crack the top twenty.
For the sake of economic competition, neighbors Vermont (47th), Maine (30th), and Massachusetts (22nd) would be wise to follow New Hampshire’s lead on the state income tax, and get rid of it. Though, it’s likelier they’ll seek more money from taxpayers than reform their governments, and breathe a sigh of relief if Question 1 fails.
For their part, New Hampshirites seem to be divided into three camps on a constitutional income tax ban: for and against, and those who are on the fence because they’re hesitant to alter the State Constitution in any way.
God Bless Joe McQuaid and the Union Leader!
by Tim Condon
Says McQuaid in a Union Leader editorial today: “Banning a personal income tax in New Hampshire by means of a constitutional amendment makes all the sense in the world — unless, of course, you like the idea of such a powerful and corrosive government confiscation of your money. With Democratic gubernatorial candidates once again refusing to … Read more
