PUBLIC: EU sneers that Brexit will happen. PRIVATELY: oh crap!

The Fair Shares Act
We frequently hear about how each of us should pay or receive ‘our fair share’ of taxes. Whether that’s the state Department of Labor claiming to ‘ensure the NH businesses pay their fair share’, or the federal Census Bureau arguing that it ‘helps each community get its fair share’ of tax funds, or some other example of lobbying of the government, by the government, for the government, we see this phrase again and again.

Millennials Flock to NH for Jobs, Affordable Housing, Quality of Life
I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve heard democrats, or anyone for that matter, use the phrase “we need more young people to move here!” It’s a common trope, especially from democrats who seek to impose more government intervention on the rest of us through programs like workforce training, ‘workforce’ housing, college … Read more
Democrats want to take stuff away from you – Case #1: #VolinskyAgenda
Yep, Andru Volinsky. The guy that removed local control of Education via the Claremont decision.

If you loved Obamacare, just WAIT for Medicare-for-All “Premium Hit!

US Congressman Chris Pappas (D-NH) and minimum wage double standards

Over and over again, with this behavior, they show that they … Read more
