| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"NH has already decreased business taxes (Business profits tax and Business Enterprise taxes) too much.

Public schools have historically opened opportunities to all and reduced wealth inequality. They are now being pushed towards extinction in favor of unregulated private schools and home schooling. The failure of the state to meet its obligations has been a prime cause of increased local property taxes." | Against | Against | Aligned |
