("Live Free or Starve" - promoted by William Tucker)
This is a wonderful piece by a resident of my town, who served in VietNam and keeps a low profile most of the time. He describes our current legislature and their supporters as suffering from an illness that can easily be fatal if not treated promptly and thoroughly.
The prognosis of the patient in question is poor because, unfortunately, she exhibits acute and severe symptoms in all realms of the disorder. But you haven't heard the worst of it yet: This isn't a simple intervention against a single individual but involves an entire state. The patient I am describing is New Hampshire herself. All of her. Or should I say, what is left of her?
Think about it. Substitute the word "tax" for "food" and the analogy fits perfectly. By restricting her intake of money (taxes) and focusing only on cutting what some say is "fat" in the budget, Miss New Hampshire is starving herself. She is becoming anorexic.
Please read this, and if you agree, send it around as I am doing. What we are doing to our state is dreadful and unnecessary. and the same can be said for our country. We need an intervention, soon!
