Class warfare? Are you for real? Punishing?? How is it punishing? Every property owner in Laconia pays the same $21.03 per thousand/value. If you happen to own a more valuable property, it taxed accordingly. This isn't a punishment. It is the same in all 50 states. Your property tax is based on the assessed value of your home.

The difference is New Hampshire has voted time and time again not to raise money by levying an income tax or a sales tax. This works in favor of NH residents, not so much for out of state flatlander 2nd home property owners who are paying an income tax and a sales tax in their home state.

I have no sympathy for the poor guy who whines about his taxes on his 2nd home... #1stworldproblems

PS: If you want to adjust the business tax rate as an incentive to hire more employees... I am all ears!
