With the Union Leader reporting again that New Hampshire has the lowest poverty rate in the nation and is the only state under 10%, this seemed like a good time to revisit a post from mid-September; I expect the left will be regurgitating this meme so we should be prepared to rebut their nonsense.
Harrell Tweets On Right To Work
So here we have New Hampshire Democrat Party Propaganda Minister Harrell Kirstein sharing some cherry picked wisdom.
"7 of 10 poorest states are RTW4Less states…blah blah blah."
My first thought is, define poor? (…without getting into this and this.)
Poor, like rich, is an elastic concept which our friend Harrell and the Demolition party stretch to fit their narrative. It looks at wages but ignores things like cost of living, tax burden and relies entirely on total annual income as an arbitrary line drawn on a national chart, to define poverty, irrelevant of any other factor. But it is these factors that affect wages and as it turns out, states without Right to Work are exponentially more expensive places to live. So even if you are working for less income, you’re spending exponentially less of it on things you need to live a comfortable life. And here’s one very critical example of that.
The Union Leader has done us a service these past two days by exposing Governor Shaheen for who she is. In back to back staff editorials we see that her priority is to filter money through the hands of distant bureaucrats rather than find ways to keep it in New Hampshire in the first place.
