Those public officials operating in the State House in Concord are in a love with spending. But what are they buying?
Over the past six years the number of state government jobs has doubled the growth in population. But the more astonishing fact is that in 2007, there was a 13 fold growth of jobs compared to the growth in population. Is it any wonder that in 2008 1nd 2009, it was “necessary” to create or expand sources of revenue to pay for the payroll that was created?
That payroll and the associated benefits that the state is paying comes from the backs of the people of NH. It doesn’t matter whether there is available revenue labeled as a federal grant, federal stimulus or some genie in the sky. In truth, it ALL comes from the pockets of you taxpayers. How much do you have to spare?
Better start your second and third jobs so you can pay for those car registration taxes.

Today we are experiencing the very real consequences of not having listened to the Popes who have consistently advanced the principle of subsidiarity: that no higher organization should take over work that a lower organization can do satisfactorily.
ReplyDeleteGovernment continues to grow bigger and bigger and someone has to foot the bill: the "common" man, the taxpayer. We are now at the breaking point. If this doesn't change, and soon, we will face an economic apocalypse the likes of which will make the Great Depression (which I lived through) seem tame by comparison.
Now is the time to act. If we fail to do so, our economic future is very bleak.
