Home For The Holidays
One privilege bestowed on me as an accident of birth that I share with few others is that I am the child of genuine, unrepentant Stalinists. And you thought being raised by wolves was tough. I started consuming the Marxist canon at the age of thirteen, and I was, and remain, a quick study.

Insufficient and Unfair, or Just Misdiagnosed?
The Democratic case in brief
The argument starts with a moral contrast. New Hampshire is a wealthy state, yet its budgets allegedly underfund core needs such as housing, clean energy, public safety, and education. Four points drive the claim.
- Leaders say “no funds available,” which is presented as a choice rather than a constraint.
- High local property taxes are displacing homeowners and renters.
- The tax code is regressive, with lower-income households paying a higher share of income in state and local taxes than top earners.
- Public education funding is described as constitutionally inadequate, which forces property-poor towns to raise unsustainable local taxes.
