Over at True North Reports, the author of the piece I fisked yesterday wasn’t excited about the response he received. Some folks had questions or comments that he felt needed to be clarified. A tariff, a tax, a former president.

Maggie Hassan’s Latest Ad Says She’s Fiscally Responsible – That’s a Big A** Lie.
Maggie Hassan has approved a new “message” with which to interrupt my television viewing. That’s not why, though I’d be flattered. No, the purpose of the ad is to lie about her record on spending and taxes.
Fred Teeboom is taking the City of Nashua back to the Superior Court
Enough is enough! Mr. Fred Teeboom is taking the City of Nashua back to the Superior Court to enforce the Spending Cap correctly. It seems that this year the City of Nashua was creative in adding in grant fund expenses over which the Nashua taxpayers have no control.
The City Of Nashua Gives Tax Free Breaks To Some Residents
The motto of the Department of Revenue for the State of New Hampshire “is to fairly and efficiently administer the tax laws of the State of New Hampshire, collecting the proper amount of taxes due, incurring the least cost to the taxpayers, in a manner that merits the highest degree of public confidence in our integrity.”
Politicians Who Want Gas to Be Expensive to Investigate Why Gas is So Expensive
In Momma’s Broken Heart, Miranda Lambert sings, “Leave it to me to be holdin’ the matches, When the fire trucks show up, and there’s nobody else to blame.” Someone looks guilty, and maybe they’re are or perhaps not, but when it comes to high gas prices, it’s no coincidence.
Language Warning: The Joe Biden Inflation Rap!
I’m not a huge fan of Rap music. And I get that most of it is not written for me. So, it’s cool that other people like it (free country – barely – and all that). I’d rather listen to something else. This, however, speaks to me.
If Constitutional Amendments Are No Longer Absolute, We Can Stop Paying Taxes?
President* Joe Biden has announced that the amendments in the US Constitution are not absolute. Like any good civilian disarmament Democrat, he’d like the government to manage what sort of “weapons” we’ll be allowed to have or use. I want to suggest whatever he left in Afghanistan.
Dover Says “It’s Not a Rain Tax” But Your “Taxes” Will go up Because of the Rain
Remember when NH Democrats said a tax on wages was not an income tax? They got some Freshman stooge to say it out loud, but same difference. A tax on income is an income tax. Democrats in Dover are playing the same game but with rain.
“Democrat Leaders Are Not the Patriotic, Pro-American Worker Democrats of the Distant Past”
How rich, ignorant, and/or uncaring must people be to not realize that President Biden’s policies have been disastrous, especially for middle- and lower-income Americans? Today’s over 8% inflation means a family with a $60,000 income last year now needs an extra $5000 to maintain the same modest lifestyle. The gasoline price jump from $2.099, just … Read more
Defund the WTO
Congressman Chip Roy from Texas has introduced the best solution to Stop the WTO’s Global Pandemic Treaty Amendments introduced by the Biden White House. It’s called “No Taxpayer Funding For the World Trade Organization (WTO).”
Quick Thought: So, Ukrainians Don’t Have to Pay Taxes on Captured Russian Tanks or Such?
Other than Letters of Marque in the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water”), I can’t remember the IRS putting out such a notice that if you take an enemy’s stuff off the battlefield, you don’t have to report it.
Possibly Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard Someone Say, Ever
At Wednesday’s school board meeting in Croydon, a former school board member and current math teacher — the latter detail turns out to be important — stood up to say that he is ‘happy to help pay to educate other people’s children.’
The Truth About Taxes
Have you ever thought about your taxes keep going up? I’m referring to property taxes, which are the “only” tax New Hampshire has (we won’t go into the hidden taxes).
Data Point – Once Again, WE DON’T HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM!
…the federal government ran a deficit of $668,267,000,000. That is because the government spent $2,790,254,000,000 during the period.

Joe Said He Would Only Tax the Ultra-Rich, but His New Universal “Tax” Hurts the Poor the Most
Joe said he would only tax the ultra-rich, but his new universal tax hurts the poor the most. Joe has a name for his new tax, “Inflation.” In fifteen months, Biden has given us the highest inflation rate in forty years.
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets Podcast #3 – Are Republican Candidates Finally Engaging in the Culture War?
Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #3 – Are Republican candidates finally engaging in the Culture War? After all, if you only yammer about taxes all the time, you’re missing the boat – and the votes!
Poor BLM is Triggered
Black Lives Matter co-founder recently purchased a $6M home in California with funds donated to the organization. The home was put in the name of a shell company, and purchased for $2.5M over the asking price.
Another Word for Capital Is Productivity but “Politicians Exploit Economic Ignorance”
It’s not rocket science to conclude that whatever lowers the cost of capital formation, such as lowering the cost of investing in earthmovers, enables contractors to purchase more of them. Workers will have more capital to work with and as a result enjoy higher wages. -Prof Walter Williams (American Contempt for Liberty – Politicians Exploit … Read more
