they are also the only state that has NO seatbelt laws.

I mean it's is a great place to put it

Since it's right over the State lines

The southern New Englanders can cross the border for their booze

I also love that in NH they don't care what lane the trucks are in.

also the only state I know of that is like that as well.

I would totally move down to NH if it wasn't so close to mass and being over taken by people moveing up form there.

From what I heard that NH was Restructuring the Voting Laws so that Massholes can't Vote in their Elections anymore

woo!

I like the idea of saying "you have to live here for a few years before you can vote"

hopefully the massholes just forget to setup to vote by the time they can.

Like I remember hearing that people from Massachusetts had like residences up there that during election day they cross the border to meddle in their Elections

oh you ment like that....
still woo, just a little less woo.

and i'm sure the people form mass do that.
the are like the NYC of new englend.

So looking it up basically somewhere along the lines Republicans won the Executive branch of New Hampshire

Though in the 2018 election was where the Republicans lost the Majority in the State Senate and the Congress but it kind of werid in 2016 that Republicans won but they still had Democrat as Senators of the Federal Senate

And their Electoral votes going to Hillary

Like that is where you go something is up when the state in it's core turned red but still got blue

@ETBrooD My tax prof would probably say they are necessary

But screw him

what would you propose in lieu of consumption taxes

"leave it to the towns, let them figure out what's best for them"

but a sales tax works well enough and is simple enough.

property taxes also work well, especially on a town level as that's where most of the "services" that a government provides needs to be delt with anyway.

if you wanted to get really interesting you could have a voluntary tax system on a town level easy enough, you want a fire department? send money for it.
more police? well pony up and drop some cash.

I like the idea of income taxes the least, for several reasons, one is it's so much more complex then you would think, and why people can say "this rich guy pays no income tax!" because he is paying taxes on some other form of income that is covered under another tax.

..
were i to pick a tax system with out the option of just voluntary funding your local government, hmmm....
I think i would go with a small sales tax on the state level, less then %10 as they are really only serviceing the highways and state police.

the on a town level i would stick with a property tax based on the land you are on and not the value of what you put there.

consumption tax is pretty effective in that one of the main purposes of taxation is to reduce consumption

very direct

but it is regressive

what do you mean by "regressive"?

as opposed to progressive

impacts poorer people more

all taxes will impact the poor more, or at least the people just entering that tax bracket.

and all it does against the "rich" is force them to spend resources trying to protect themselfs form those taxes, resources better spend on other things if you want people to do well.

i mean i don't think that's true

why not?
