Boat Fees to Double

SAMIAM · 06-26-2009, 12:10 PM

You're right, Orion........and it's only beginning. Typical of democrats to sneak in all these back door taxes. Just got a letter today from my payroll company that the unemplyment tax has gone up 1/2 a point........that's $2,000 to me and millions to business' across the state. Wait until the global warming nuts get their way and start taxing everything that runs.......can you say carbon credits? ......oops,sorry......don't mean to get wound up. I know politics are taboo on the forum.

I am a sole proprietor NH employer, and did not yet get notice. I am small business and have just one employee.

INTERESTING...... to say the least.

I read in the NH Business Review, I think it was, that not only are the rates going up but the amount on which employees are taxes are going up a lot! 75% maybe?

I knew they were trying to pass a bill to increase the boat fees. I didn't know if it passed so I was searching on the internet and found this interesting article in the citizen from January why they want to raise them.

But it says they haven't increased since 1979. I bet we would all be complaining if our wages hadn't incraesed since 1979. I am not saying I am happy about it but if that fact is true maybe I can live with the increase.

I found a link to the house bill that would increase the boat registration fees. It explains all the increases. There are more increases then just the registration fee.

You can figure out from this exactly how much more it will cost you.

It's a long overdue increase, and appears to be well thought out, even setting aside a $1 for eradication of milfoil.

Willy nilly tax and fee increases are ridiculous, but this is not one of those. Rest assured I hate taxes as much or more than anyone. But the problems with taxes and spending this decade are a bit more complicated than just cut or increase. If it were that easy, we'd have a robust economy now providing record revenues and wages for all. Unemployment funds are going broke, hence the need to increase funding to them.

The key to tax policy is to have people mature enough to look carefully at the issues, and adjust according to both need and impacts. As a business owner, I was flabbergasted when I heard the government proclaim that if taxes were cut for wealthier people and companies, there would be more jobs and growth, since companies would hire more people.

I gotta tell you honestly. Any CEO that would hire more people based on tax cuts would be the first person I sent a pink slip to. There's been a fundamental disconnect in my party as to what business is all about. If you lower my taxes, I will NOT increase spending, simple as that. If you increase my taxes, ditto on that.

You are absolutely correct. Why would any sane business invest in building and staffing a factory because there taxes were decreased. They could offload the business to a low labor cost country and keep the tax decrease to increase their profit. Pure business 101. We have seen what unregulated capitalism will do to the economy. Not that we don't have enough regulations, but that business have found a way to get around them and the dumb bureaucratic agencies charged with enforcing the laws have gotten in bed with the company's. None of those officials or departments have been fired for the disaster they have brought upon us taxpayers.
