Reminds me of Bob Bahre's monster mansion on Lake Winni, which was originally listed for $49 million and came with a $254,000 yearly property tax bill. It finally sold for $5.6 million.


New Hampshire needs to rethink the income tax.

There are plenty of states with an income tax where I'm sure you'd be happy. Leave NH alone.

Perhaps you are unaware or maybe you don't bother to file and pay your NH I&D tax but NH does have an income tax at a flat rate of 5%.

Which starts phasing out soon and goes away in 2027.

How is that relevant? Its completely different than taxing my income. The average NH resident is not pulling in more than 2,400 a year in interest or dividends.

That's sad, because $2,400 in interest and dividends is really nothing.

Regardless, it's going away soon.

https://granitestatetaxpayers.org/gs...-signs-budget/

– Business Enterprise Tax and Business Profits Tax rate reductions to promote investment and growth.
– Lowering the Interest and Dividend tax rate, with a goal of eventual repeal, so retirees can stay in state.
– Reduction in the Rooms and Meals tax rate to promote tourism and the economy.
– Allocation of a more Rooms and Meals revenue to towns and cities, enabling local tax relief.
– Allocation of $100 Million directly to property taxpayers for tax relief by reducing their property tax bills.
– Education Saving Accounts to promote school choice and competition, with expected lower overall cost.

Lower taxes = More growth = more tax revenue, which provides money for investment and lowering tax rates so people can decide for themselves what to spend the money they make on. Lower tax feedback loop.

Higher taxes = Less growth = more tax revenue, at the cost of reducing money for investment, and having the government decide on behalf of residents what to spend the money they make on. Higher tax feedback loop.

“Historic tax cuts, property tax relief, and Paid Family Medical Leave delivered all in one sweeping action is a win for every citizen and family in this state.”

You've been advocating for a NH income tax for years. If you're so unhappy with our tax structure, why did you move here when this state has been strongly anti-income tax for decades and where political candidates have had to take the pledge to get elected?
