We all understand Pineedles that there are isues......but using "fiction" to get your point across is not the proper way to win people over to your side. There are vested interests that want and income tax, sales tax, or both, and they will use any means to push that agenda. NH is a low-tax state to live in for most of her residents.....that's a fact.

One answer to the property tax issue is for NH state government to set up more exemptions for the elderly like they do in Texas & Florida, and perhaps some kind of homested act for residents. What we should not do is change the whole tax strcture of the state.

This thread has been a case study in why I'm comfortable still using the property tax as the main source of income in NH. At least we can hold our local elected officals to account if we want to change things. Once Concord gets an income or sales tax we will never be able to control spending.
