It is your money

Yesterday the Pulse of New Hampshire hosted the 2nd District US Congressional Debate. During the debate, Democratic Candidate, Maggie Goodlander, said that “The Trump tax cuts are a disaster; they have to be repealed. We have to find a way to raise revenue.” It is obvious that “raise revenue” is nothing but masked language for hefty tax increases.

House Democrats are firmly on record opposing New Hampshire as a truly income tax free state. With the full repeal of the Interest & Dividends tax right around the corner, they are already clamoring for ways to “raise revenue.” They cannot stand the idea of Granite Staters keeping more of their hard earned money. Their actions show the fundamental difference between the two caucuses. House Democrats view each citizen as their own personal piggy bank whose cash can be confiscated at anytime to fund their big government spending fantasies. Meanwhile, they expect the hardworking taxpayers to sit back and accept whatever frivolous and wasteful spending they can dream up. Today and in November, we will hold them accountable for their legislative and fiscal irresponsibility.

Policy Information:

The Interest and Dividends income tax is set to be fully repealed on January 1st, making New Hampshire truly income tax free. We are constantly told throughout our lives that one of the most important things that we can do is save money for our retirements. Sadly, the Democrats have never seen a pot of money that they didn’t want to dip their hand into, so they tried several times this year to reinstate the I and D income tax on your retirement savings along with attempting to impose several other new and increased taxes. The Democrats’ words and actions make it clear, they want to raise your taxes on both the state and federal level. 

This biennium, House Republicans have defeated several attempts by Democrats to raise taxes, including HB192, which would have reinstated the I and D income tax, HB1492, which was a second attempt to reinstate the I and D income tax, HB1254, which was an attempt to tax your next hotel stay, and CACR18, which would have taxed churches and religious organizations. This paired with the fact that 100% of House Democrats voted against the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which would have raised the bar for the legislature to implement new taxes and fees, shows us exactly what their plans are. If the Democrats take control in 2024, they will tax our citizens into oblivion.
