Default one last tax post

I'm just having a little fun with the south Nashua employees, for a perfect tax system, I'd throw them under the bus as easily as you. Unfortunately there is no perfect system. I agree that Concord cannot be trusted to "work out" the other taxes. But even if they could I still don't believe a either a sales or income tax is an improvement. Sales taxes always hurt the poor more than the rich, they always act as an economic drag. Income taxes hurt working people the most. The people working today to pay their bills, feed their kids, and save for college all the while living in a modest house, they have to pay. A property tax hits the wealthy people hardest, those who already have money or property. Plus it keeps the money in the town. The other taxes send the money to Concord so they can control it.

Now like Woodsy, my head is starting to hurt and I'm giving up on the tax topic.
