“…state governments learn to rely to much on federal handouts as well. New Hampshire democrats just “balanced” the state budget with more debt and millions in federal money that’s not even there. So now they’ll have to get someone to put it back or their budget will not be “in balance,” like some crack whore begging for another hit.”
Departures from public service are not uncommon. But how you depart says a lot about who you think you are and what you’ve really accomplished. Take Kathy Sgambati for example. She’s leaving the State Senate after only two terms, a paltry four years, but if you read her departure rhetoric it sounds as if she …
The necessity of law to protect property has… under democrat governance, reversed itself into using law to confiscate property. Under this kind of leadership any sum could find itself subject to the will of the “crown” to erase debts incurred as a result of being too “liberal” with the peoples purse.
We keep hearing that the "rich" do not pay their fair share in taxes – that is sheer nonsense unless one’s notion of "fair" is an absolute confiscation of their money at the highest levels. (H/T: Greg Mankiw) 1st Quartile (start: $0) – running total: 0.0% 2nd Quartile (start: $18K) – running total: 40% income …

I have argued at great length on why relying primarily on local property taxes are the best mechanism for keeping government small. But no matter how often I bring it up someone always tries to make the point that it’s not fair. Why should the people who actually own the physical land in the state …
The idea of the variable rooms and meals tax for towns is a trap set by the democrat majority legislature. I mentioned it here but let me reiterate how it works for those who may not have noticed or guessed for themselves. Democrat run State government, in its quest for a broad based tax, spends …
This country is facing yearly deficits of epic proportions – and the nation’s debt load is threatening to put us into Greece’s fiscal territory. So, what does Obama decide to do? Start floating the idea that only a new tax – a VAT (Value Added Tax) – is our only salvation. This is not an …
Hat tip out of the gate to fellow NHI front pager Richard Olsen Jr. for this fine bit or wordsmithing on Nashua Rep Seth Marshall’s brief letter to the Nashua Telegraph about a pamphlet on the burden of property taxes. Mr. Marshall (it appears) feels blessed as if the contents of this pamphlet revealed the answer …
I’ve got mixed emotions about the variable rooms and meals tax (R&M). On one hand it is the microcosm of federalism. Every town would be the master of its own demise. Durham would be like New York State, Keene might be like Michigan. On the other, starting at 9% is way too high to begin …
SB 450, the omnibus, mix and match, fix and patch, how do we cover all that unnecessary spending democrats had to have, budgetpalooza bill, is up for a vote today. But it poses an intentional problem for Republicans. It would repeal the LLC tax, but while adding another boat load of taxes, fees, and if …
