QuestionTheir answerAligned answerCounted as
Broad-based income taxShould NH add an income tax on earned income?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"First, their are things the state must do and those activities must be funded accordingly. Many surrounding states have the burden of an income tax. NH lack of an income tax acts as a check on runaway spending. Even if the state collected twice as much revenue, we could find a way to spend it all and more. Adding an income tax would also increase complexity and allow for 'opaque' budget discussion."AgainstForNot aligned
Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"First, their are things the state must do and those activities must be funded accordingly. Many surrounding states have the burden of an income tax. NH lack of an income tax acts as a check on runaway spending. Even if the state collected twice as much revenue, we could find a way to spend it all and more.

Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Business is the engine that creates wealth. In general, an entrepreneur will be a better allocator of resources than the state to meet citizens diverse needs. I believe this is mostly due to the incentive structures in place and and the significant cost of failure for business owners."ForAgainstNot aligned
"Education Freedom Account" programDo you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"This sounds excellent. Again, I would need to better understand the specifics of how the program works. We want students and parents to be the customers."ForAgainstNot aligned
Majority of public school funding through local property taxesDo you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"Spending and funding is best at as local level as possible. I understand the impact on home values for good schools, and I believe individual towns can make this decision themselves. Also, filtering the funds through the state adds cost and does not increase the total size of the pie."ForAgainstNot aligned
Allow segregation based on biological sexShould New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?Gender Identity Over Biological Sex · Feminism For AllForAgainstNot aligned
Proof of citizenship for newly registered votersShould New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?Loosen Voter Eligibility Rules · Democracy For All"This is an easy answer for me."ForAgainstNot aligned
