Do I think Granny, living off Social Security should have to pay the same taxes as Judd Gregg? Nope. I believe that taxes are the dues we pay for living in a fairly civilized society. Roads, bridges, public parks, libraries, schools - all of those things that guys like you don't believe in. <br /><br />You believe that taxes ARE TAKEN AT GUNPOINT, and all that sort of baloney. I urge you to consider to moving to a country where there are no taxes, or investments in the public good. In fact, guys like you don't believe there is such a thing as the public good. It's every man for himself, in your world, all of you rugged individuals pulling yourselves up by your bootstraps, with absolutely no help from anyone. <br /><br />susanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960705109051557790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-69080149158841930572015-04-06T18:01:34.794-04:002015-04-06T18:01:34.794-04:00Answer the question: Are you in favor of taxing NH...Answer the question: Are you in favor of taxing NH senior citizens who are retired and living off their retirement accounts?

He tells me I haven't done research, calls me a "progressive know nothing," and tells me to move - then has the audacity to accuse me of using pejoratives and cheap debating points. <br /><br /><br />Trying to weasel guns into this discussion is a diversion, which is really what you're all about. Name calling, finger pointing, and diversion. <br />I am sadly disappointed that you haven't used the term "statist" yet. You do get a bonus point for calling me a socialist, but it's subtracted from your total because you failed to use communist as well. <br /><br />You can up your score however, with a well placed "feminazi."

Many of them are technically millionaires and in your world, should be taxed heavily because they have too much money.<br /><br />Thank goodness the majority of people and legislators in NH are not in your camp with the rest of the closet socialists. <br /><br />I'm completely serious, btw: what you want you can find in MA or NY: high taxes, strong gun control, and an unsustainable patchwork of welfare benefits and other entitlements. That trifecta of governmental ineptitude should generate an irresistible pull for someone like yourself.<br /><br />Are you going to continue using pejoratives in an attempt to belittle my opinions? That seems to be the go-to move for you; it's also the desperate move of someone who has lost the argument so badly yet continues to lash out in the hope of scoring some cheap debating points.<br /><br />Your turn to respond with juvenile taunts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-51221590904682222682015-04-06T15:20:01.557-04:002015-04-06T15:20:01.557-04:00Oh, Alan.

You found the first link that agreed with your warped version of the world and took it as gospel.<br /><br />I'll bet the majority of those "millionaires" are retirees with a 401(k) and other savings accounts. You want to tax all those senior citizens who worked a lifetime to earn that money and moved to live in a tax-free state? They already contributed - they shouldn't have to again because a small minority of progressive know-nothings like yourself think that they should because they have too much money.<br /><br />Maybe you should move to MA or NY, where they tax the bejesus out of folks and yet still run deficit budgets. You would fit in just fine with that crowd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-78867551119881613292015-04-06T13:00:54.951-04:002015-04-06T13:00:54.951-04:00Oh, well.

There are other sources, but I'm not feeling kindly about doing your research for you, given your unpleasant attitude. <br /><br />There are over 33,000 millionaires living in NH - in tax free splendor. That we have no taxes is why so many retire here - to protect their assets. The wealth in NH is held by people, many of whom contribute little to the economy. This isn't about NH being an economic powerhouse. It's about NH the tax shelter for the rich - and the lapdogs in our legislature who refuse to tax them. susanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960705109051557790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-52508825759426643282015-04-06T12:34:20.086-04:002015-04-06T12:34:20.086-04:00NH is the "7th wealthiest stare in the nation...NH is the "7th wealthiest stare in the nation" according to 24/7 Wall Street?<br /><br />24/7 Wall Street is a joke. According to Forbes and other reputable business sites, NH isn't even in the top ten.<br /><br />So, what's correct - your data or my data?<br /><br />Sure, you can slice-and-dice the data to get the result you want, but NH is an economic backwater compared to most other northeastern states other than Maine and all of the west coast states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-45546005016286162732015-04-03T18:24:55.320-04:002015-04-03T18:24:55.320-04:00Too bad research isn't one of your RESOURCES, ...Too bad research isn't one of your RESOURCES, Sparky.

Legislation that would have led New Hampshire into the future. <br /><br />It's also apparent the you don't understand either the state budget or the capital budget process because if you did there wouldn't be such a graphic display of ignorance and feminism in motion.NHRESOURCEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757660904643618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-45490497598745376852015-04-02T21:50:57.242-04:002015-04-02T21:50:57.242-04:00If the final bill contains all these cuts, I'm...If the final bill contains all these cuts, I'm hoping the governor tosses it right back in their laps. nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746258513198203125noreply@blogger.com
