NH Democrats Prove How Much They Hate Tax Cuts

taxeslg

Today, Ivanka Trump and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin came to New Hampshire to talk about President Trump’s tax plan on “Tax Day.” The two were talking about the benefits of the tax plan that was put into place by the Republican-controlled Congress (not one of New Hampshire’s Democrat representatives voted for their constituents to keep more of their own hard-earned money, not Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Annie Kuster or Carol Shea-Porter).

New Hampshire Democrats weren’t very happy about this visit. They seem to hate that Granite Staters actually get to keep more of their own hard-earned money.

FB Doodlings – “Scott Metzger: Some of property-tax burden should be shifted to vehicle registrations” – Part 1

Calvin Coolidge on taxesYeah, sure thing.  Once again, a lack of thought about a taxing system as a whole versus just wanting a myriad of taxes to replace NH’s property tax system.  Sadly, Scott Metzger fails to understand the driver(s) for this and is simply stated by a famous phrase by a former NH Governor. Emphasis mine, reformatted:

Year after year I am saddened to see my town continually divided over the ability or inability of its citizens to afford an increase in our property taxes.

At every town meeting, a group of residents approaches the microphone to explain how they are living on a fixed income and will be forced to move from the town they’ve lived in all their lives if taxes increase. Another group approaches the mic and talks about how we cannot afford not to increase the school budget or town budget to pay for vital building expansions or services. And both groups are right. What’s wrong is the way we are asked to share the burden.

He’s wrong.  If decisions are to be made

When Democrats Take Back Congress They Will Repeal Tax Reform

pelosiNancy Pelosi announced that one of the first things Democrats will do when they regain control is to repeal and replace recent Republican Tax reforms. And she promises it will be bipartisan and done in daylight, (unlike healthcare reform, I guess). So, what might that look like?

If previous proposals are any indication, Pelosi plans on instituting a major tax hike, particularly focused on punishing those same generous corporations. In a plan published last month, Congressional Democrats proposed a $1 trillion dollar tax hike, pushing the corporate tax rate from its current 21% to 25%, undoing tax breaks for high earners, and re-instituting a top tax bracket that could tax some Americans at a rate of nearly 40%.

Criminals for Students for “Safe Schools”

If you have any doubts about whether criminals support efforts by progressives to get students to disarm law-abiding citizens then let me help. Street thugs, muggers, rapists, Gangs, and crime syndicates (including the ones pretending to be from the government), are all for a force monopoly that favors their endeavors. They are all advocates of gun-free … Read more

Will EPA End California “Tax” on Everyone Else’s Automobiles?

Green Car

For years California’s higher mileage requirements for passenger vehicles have forced manufacturers to offset those costs with higher prices for car buyers all across the nation. But the EPA is dumping Obama CAFE standards for model years 2022-2025 defaulting to the current average of 34.5 mpg.

A legal fight is expected from CAFE-Clingers and Brownistas in Kalinfornistan.

Don’t Like NH’s Property Taxes? Then Move to Maine

Source: WalletHub This is an Interactive map!

Skip took some time to fisk a letter to the Concord Monitor in which someone named John Andrews complains about the high property taxes in New Hampshire. He notes that across the border in Maine, he’d be paying a lot less in property taxes.

Skip does a great job exposing the fallacies upon which Andrews makes his case, and rightly points out that Maine has lots of other taxes that John never mentions. But he doesn’t have space to show how vast the chasm of the overall tax burden is between Maine and New Hampshire.

It’s Yuge.

GrokTALK! – Wages, Death, Energy, & Fungus

We talk about how Seattle small business owners “feel” about that $15/hr minimum wage the progressives had to have, where not to go in New Hampshire if you want the base to vote for you, then its on to death taxes followed by a few minutes on electricity and energy.

Carol Shea-Porter: The Federal Governments Representative To New Hampshire CD- 1

I have long and often argued that Democrats, New Hampshire’s variety in particular, favor the top down model of governance.  The power and the resources (money) must descend from the point farthest from the person who is taxed for the privilege of being governed by progressives.

A prime example or proof of this “theory” is the desire to “get back” tax dollars from Washington DC.  Democrats argue that we need representatives to go to Washington who will work hard to get back the money we send to the nations capital as federal taxes.   But they have it exactly backwards.  We send representatives to the nations capital to do everything in their power to keep the money in New Hampshire in the first place.

The contrast between the two could not be more stark.

Are Liberals really THIS dependent upon Government that…

…they can’t even give their wealth away without outsourcing it to Daddy Warbucks Government?  Not exactly my favorite person, “comedian” Bill Maher:

There was a story recently about a Georgia man whose home was in foreclosure, savings running out. So he called 911, and when the responders arrived, he took them hostage. His demands? Getting his electricity turned back on. Now I’m not saying that’s a smart approach, but squeezing people economically so tight that they go all Django unchained, that’s not smart either.

If you’re rich you should be begging the government to redistribute your wealth, because you know what happens in countries where there’s a huge disparity between the rich and the poor? The rich get kidnapped. It happens 72 times a day in Mexico. Getting snatched out of your car is so common in South Africa that they actually make cars that do this.

According to the NewsBusters post, he’s worth $23 million.  Let’s do a back of the envelope calculations, shall we? Hey, he doesn’t need more than that, right?  After all, President Obama has now twice indicated that once you have made enough money, you don’t need any more.  So, let’s just leave Mr. Maher with $5 million – so we have $17 mil to “redistribute”.  Let’s say that the average electric bill is $100 / month (round numbers are nice), that would be 170,000 less poor people – at least for a month.
