So I got this thread going all over the place and well I will of course take responsibility for that. Of course I also didn't think it would develop into the discussion that have popped up. However there have been some good discussion points here.

Now, my comment regarding trying to aviod loop holes, is a comment specifically about that. There are many loop holes out there. We have all probably exploited one or two in our life time. Hell simply by buying a case of wine in NH and bring it into another state you have violated some laws.... My point here is this. If people stopped trying to find and use the loop holes and just paid sales and use taxes when they are supposed too, there would be generated income for the various states. And there also wouldn't be states comming after people after the fact.

Now I do often bring up Sales and Income Tax for NH. Why because everyone is concerned about there property Tax in NH. Do I like More Taxes. Hell No, no more then anyone else. However if the state needs money they are going to raise it one way or another. So do you want to continue to see your property Tax go up or do you want other forms of Taxation.....I was very interested to read OCD take that he thinks sales will never happen but Income might..... I actually always thought it would be the oppisite.... My thought on this derived from the Washington State Model... At anyrate.... NH has to make up its mind of how it wants to fund itself...if you take Sales and Income out of the equation. Then just remember we are all going to continue to pay more and more property Tax.

Now when it comes to stopping the increase in the ammount of Revenue the state needs that is another arguement. The advice I have there, is for people to get involved in the Government. Make sure you examine your choices come election time. Definately make sure you get out there and Vote. But remember that isn't enough. You must also Follow up, don't elect the right politicians and then think your job as a citizen is over. After that you need to make sure they do what they promise. And when they don't question them. Every Polictican Local, State, and Federal, has office, and they are supposed to make themselves avaialble to talk to people. Get involved, talk to these people, and let them know they are being watched, and graded against the promises they make.

Ok, whoa, I need to get off the soap box..... but anyways I feel better...
