New Hampshire Democrats are getting uppity about the slogan taxation is theft. Do I have to wonder how they’ll react to the even greater truth that taxation is slavery?

NH House Budget Takes A Lot of Money From Your Household Budget
The New Hampshire budget takes a bite out of your household budget The House budget that came to the floor Thursday 4/11/19 will increase spending by over $1.5 billion. The result of the profligate spending is that this budget is forced to also include $417 million in new taxes. Comparatively, what this means is that … Read more
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.
Picking on Denmark part 2: Notes from the field
By Eddie
June 17, 2018: Copenhagen, Denmark
After the posting on Denmark last week, I thought I should go there and see for myself. Ok, not completely true, but I am here in Copenhagen, passing through on a previously planned business trip. I spent a relaxing afternoon wandering around town, observing. This was not my first visit to Copenhagen and my personal impression is that the people here are freer than Americans, at least in some ways. So let’s see.
GrokTV Special Interview-NH State Senator Andy Sanborn (District 9) – Question 4: Administrative based taxes: have all taxes, fees, and fines set by the Legislature?
Increasingly, we see NH State Agencies setting their own level of taxation (fees, fines, et al) outside of authorization of the Legislature. It is the Executive Branch to self-fund and making itself independent of the taxation authority of the Legislature. And of course, it goes without saying that while Legislators are accountable to the voters, … Read more
Nothing Like A “Veto Day” To Bring Out Liberal Concern For Overtaxation
“The same undisciplined government spending and social engineering that has undermined our economy over the past 30 years has also been tearing at the social fabric of this land.” —Stockwell Day
The New Hampshire House and Senate will vote today to override Governor John Lynch’s veto of two bills that sought to allow Granite State businesses to receive tax credits for donations to scholarship funds to help low and middle income students attend private and religious schools.
Of course, opponents of SB 372 and HB 1607 had lots to say about these bills, chief among them, Maggie, “The Red” Hassan. Hassan, as reported in the Union Leader said,
Memorial Day, Liberty-&-Freedom, and the military draft
The quote below is from an article in today’s Union Leader by Vietnam Navy veteran Jim Adams (he was in the Navy and in Vietnam around the same time I was in the Marines in Vietnam):
“In 1940, as World War II loomed, Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie gave his support to his opponent — Franklin Roosevelt — in his push for a peacetime draft. Later in life, Willkie remarked that on his epitaph, he would rather have that he “contributed to freedom” than that he was a President.” But wait….
Smoke Em After You Buy Em…In New Hampshire
Right off the bat, thanks to Matt at Red Hampshire for reminding me about Ken Wyler’s bill to cut the cigarette tax by $0.10 cents per pack. (HB 156) I’ve been queuing up a post on this having written about it often and what better time than now to unload it.
First the basics. Wyler thinks cutting the tax by a buck a carton will actually increase revenue by attracting more out of state traffic. Ken is correct. A larger cut would be better, but I guess we can crawl before we walk. And with that in mind, lets review why it will raise more revenue. And I’m not even going to have to go back very far for a decent flashback.
