Socialism has always tried to hide itself from American Principles…
I have held onto this copy of National Review for nine years with its cover turned back to keep this article topmost. In doing so, I always told myself “I need to post this up as it shows that socialists couldn’t be open and transparent in their hatred for our Founding Fathers and principles”. Sorry, Tiffany Jones Miller, that it has taken so long to actually put this up but it helped me as I was starting to come to grips with the belief that I needed to know more of how “we got here from there” as it was foggily clear that somehow things had gone astray (well, very much astray). | Keep Reading at GraniteGrok.com

House bill seeks to cut real estate transfer tax
Cutting New Hampshire’s real estate transfer tax “would put more money in the hands of the sellers and buyers” without reducing state revenues, according to Rep. Brian Chirichiello, R-Derry, who testified Tuesday before the House Ways and Means Committee, ignoring an analysis that says such a change would reduce state and county revenues by $77 million over the next four years. | Keep Reading at NHBR
The Paint Tax is back: Bad ideas never die
Last week, the Senate Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on Sen. Lou D’Allesandro’s attempt to revive the ill-fated Canoe Tax. Today, the Senate Executive Departments and Administration Committee is scheduled to take up Feltes’ bill tp bring back the Paint Tax.
