Simply stated and exactly to the point!
Let me take a moment and get on my political soapbox and say that I find the Thompson Family's position, especially that of Tommy Thompson, interestingly ironic!
Remember Tom Thompson's father, the late Governor Meldrim Thompson, is recognized as the grandfather of this current proprty tax system and was one of its strongest supporters. He was the proponent of the "no new taxes" pledge that has been the bain of many a politician in this State for decades.
Now along comes his descendants livid about a system that their family helped create! Can you say
hypocrisy?
It once again reminds me of that old and wise adage:
The only fair tax is the tax the other guy pays!
Remember, as already stated here previously; year after year after year the State of New Hampshire, property tax issue & all, places the least amount of tax burden on its citizens. Its one of the primary reasons that businesses, tourists and out-of-staters continue to flock here in record numbers. I'm all for keeping the New Hampshire advantage intact and reminding everyone that no one is forcing you to come here, but we truly do appreciate it when you do!
There, I feel better....I'm stepping back down now!
Think snow!
