New York has a 2.3 Billion dollar deficit. So, what do a Democrat legislature and Democrat governor do? They give themselves raises. Increase spending. And that thing where Cuomo said The Rich would leave if they taxed them more. Start packing.

NH Democrats: Selling You a Bridge That Doesn’t Exist On a Payment Plan That Never Ends
The narrative New Hampshire’s Democrats are selling is that they want to lower your “property taxes.” They will do this, they claim, while raising more revenue; by creating a new income tax. But once you buy that bridge, you can’t get a refund.
Press Release: The NH House “Beer Caucus”
And a “DILLY, DILLY!” from this teetotaler for putting one over on the Democrats! For immediate release: (Concord, NH) (emphasis mine): Last week hidden behind the hoopla of the passage of the last straw law, the #beercaucus singlehandedly made life for all NH Citizens better by repealing RSA 178:26, the tax on the sale of beer. In a completely … Read more
Remember When We Warned You That New Hampshire Democrats Would Raise Taxes?
New Hampshire Republicans didn’t turn out to stop Democrats from raising taxes in 2018. A total of 1,322 votes statewide would have given us a 13-11 Republican majority on the Senate. That would have helped. And there are a lot more NH Republicans than cast votes in 2018. We know this. Now they will too.
Totalitarianism is alive in Concord- Here’s how we stop it
Just this week, the NH House has passed a massive list of onerous bills that are antithetical to liberty. From banning plastic bags and straws, to anti second amendment bills, one of which will require a 7-day waiting period upon purchasing a firearm, the Democrats have now begun heading into full totalitarian mode. We need … Read more
So Kids, What Did We Learn in the NH House Session today? (Wed. 3/20)
Well, to start things off, we elected a new Sergeant at Arms – J.B. Cullen. We wish him the best of luck and a box of lozenges for all of the Roll Call and Division Vote announcements he will have to make over the course of this biennium legislature. We learned that persistence paid off … Read more
New Hampshire’s Democrat-Lead Legislature Passes an Income Tax
by Elliot Axelman On Tuesday, March 19th, the Democrat-controlled House passed SB1, the state income tax bill that passed the State Senate last month. Democrats introduced the same bill last year, but could not pass it in the Senate due to the Republicans controlling the chamber. Fortunately for us, Republicans do not love taxes as … Read more
Democrat Driven NH House: Taking Away Your Liberty This Week, One Bill at a Time
by Christopher Maidment Next week, the House will meet for three marathon sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. For most of us Granite Staters, nothing good will happen. The House majority will approve bills that limit our freedoms, restrict our rights, raise our taxes, and make everyday life harder. They’ll vote to restrict single-use plastic … Read more
New Hampshire Democrats: You Are Not Paying Enough for Electricity
By nearly unanimous rubber-stamp consent 99% of New Hampshire Democrats, including all four from Merrimack, are convinced your electric rates are too low. You are just not paying enough. So, last week they voted on at least three separate occasions to “fix” that problem. House Bill 447 would have corrected a more-than-decade-old money-laundering scheme. Democrats added a carbon … Read more
NH Budget Plan
You can’t have too much taxation In the first 10 weeks of the 2019 legislative session, the New Hampshire House of Representatives passed nearly $310 million in annual tax and fee increases. That is exclusive of the changes in subsidy levels for green energy which will significantly impact your electric bill. So how much of … Read more
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s NH House Session (3/14)?
We learned that the Democrats (the majority party) are fine with expanding dental coverage for Medicaid recipients (HB692-FN) while our State’s veterans, both able body and disabled, go without such coverage. We learned that the Majority party is only interested in studying assisted suicide instead of enlarging the scope to include palliative and hospice alternatives … Read more
F-Corporations
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and now that the Democrats are casting (some might say flailing) around for ways to make society ‘more fair’, it might be the perfect time for someone to try to introduce the appropriate legislation.
New Hampshire Democrats Retain Oppressive Carbon Tax Bill in Committee
Remember HB735, the New Hampshire Democrat’s carbon tax bill? It would suck hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state economy every year. Kill jobs. Hurt families. It’s not dead. It has been retained in committee. Which means it could come back to life without warning to kill our economy.
Personal Endorsement: Rick Notkin for Gilford Budget Committee
Consider this a personal endorsement of Rick Notkin for Gilford Budget Committee. I’ve known him for a couple of years now and he literally is a straight shooter AND will watch over how your tax monies are spent just as miserly as I do! Please, if you want someone that supports limited government, please give … Read more
If You Flee New York’s High Taxes You Will Get Audited and Lose
Remember when Gov. Cuomo said that New York couldn’t pile any more taxes on the rich because they might leave. They are going anyway. It’s causing budgetary separation anxiety. To ease the pain, any high earner that decides to pack up and move out will get a state tax audit. Guaranteed.
SeacoastOnline Gives Away the Democrat Lie On Taxes and Education Funding
Despite a complete disconnect between funding and results, Democrats want more money for New Hampshire schools. Bigger budgets have produced no return on investment. None. But as I’ve noted previously, Democrats don’t care about learning. Public Schools are a vehicle for redistributing wealth to a favored constituency.
As NH Advances the Conscription of “Good Times” to Fill Its Tax Coffers
I don’t care if you want to smoke pot. I think the existing rules that allow small quantities and provide for medical access are great. But the latest leap to regulate and tax under the banner of legalization is not a great idea. It will create a whole world of new troubles we may find too late are worse than what we had.
Was the Democrats New Vaping Tax Supposed to Help Big Tobacco?
Would it surprise New Hampshire Democrats to discover that taxing vaping products is a bad idea? That the marketing by the FDA and CDC is disingenuous. Or, that vaping is lowering cancer rates and that their tax might benefit Big Tobacco?
The Big Lie
For those too young to remember, the Big Lie is an expression for a propaganda technique coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”. Well, times … Read more
So, what did we learn in Thursday’s New Hampshire House Session?
by Representative Judy Aron So, what did we learn in Thursday’s House Session? We learned that the majority party, while supporting interpreters for the deaf and hard of hearing at the State House (HB488), are totally tone deaf to the successes and economic principles that made New Hampshire a great place to live. The Majority … Read more
