Focus... repeat after me "We don't have a revenue problem"

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain or those pesky "facts", everyone knows we have a spending problem not a revenue problem.
Federal, state and local taxes - including income, property, sales and other taxes - consumed 9.2% of all personal income in 2009, the lowest rate since 1950, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports
USA Today

Yes teachers being laid off, schools consolidated or closed, sports and music is being privatized but there is still more work to be done to cure our spending problems.  Please do not give up the fight!

(Yes, this is Snark)

Once upon a time, when women stayed home and managed (0.00 / 0)
the household and the "work of men had moved out of the house" (according to some economic text I once read), it wasn't unusual for the pay to get "lost" at the pub on Friday, after work.  Women scrimped and saved and, somehow, the children got raised.  So, why should it be any different now?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm (4.00 / 1)
The state is 6th from the top in per capita income !
The state is 47th from the top in per capita spending  !
The state is 3rd highest in per capita property tax !
The state ranks about 35th in combined state/local taxes per capita!

ANY ONE CARE TO GUESS HOW THE STATE BALANCES THE BUDGET????

NEW HAMPSHIRE IS NOT A POOR STATE
IT IS A CHEAP STATE

The Tax Pledge is nothing more than a promise to continue the most regressive taxes in the northeast!

New Hampshire is a great state to live in if you have a lot of money------If you don't....S**ks to be you!
