Sometimes the mainstream media has it right. Mr. Bush, you are a fascist.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I honestly wish I could just say that and have it mean exactly what it says. Sadly we seem to of forgotten what our right to keep and bear arms means. And what it was for. It does not just mean hunting weapons. As you can see there is no mention of hunting above. It states plainly that a well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State. The meaning of that is clear. And that means that we as citizens must be allowed to own arms for personal protection not just from criminals, But also if nessacary protection from our own government. For the security of a free state. I am not anti-government. And I believe in America. But I also know that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

I will not ever support any legislation that infringes on the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Ever.

	[ 1/1/1998 ] By: Ann K. Morris

Not many states can claim that they have neither a general sales tax nor an income tax. In fact, only two can do that, and one of them is New Hampshire. Its 1784 constitution states, “Moderation, temperance, industry and frugality,” and the state is still following these wise recommendations.New Hampshire has no capital gains tax, no inventory tax and no property tax on machinery or equipment. It has one of the lowest unemployment insurance rates in the country and offers investment and job tax credits.

New Hampshire companies find that the state is a good place both to do business and live. With no general personal income, sales or use tax, New Hampshire has one of the highest rates of home ownership in the country. Housing prices are also reasonable, with three-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath homes selling for $80,000 to $140,000.

More than quality of life

The Pease International Tradeport became home to at least eight companies and development projects, as well as 800 new jobs, in 1997, and the state’s great quality of life takes partial credit. The tradeport, which logged the largest percentage gain in air cargo handled by any airport in New England in 1996, also attracts people with its infrastructure.”Everyone you talk to in New Hampshire always talks about the quality of life,” Roger Booker, vice president of operations at Objective Communications told the Boston Sunday Globe. “Coming out of the Washington, D.C. area, certainly there’s more of a sense of community here.”

Objective Communications, a company in the computer industry, relocated to the tradeport in 1997 and expects to hire more than 100 people by mid-1998.

Top-billed communities
New Hampshire’s quality of life has garnered national attention for years. Money magazine recently recognized three New Hampshire communities as some of the best places to live in the United States. In its 11th Annual Best Places to Live survey, the magazine ranked Nashua number one, Portsmouth number five and Manchester number six. Nashua is actually the only community to win the top spot twice. (It was ranked number one in 1987, too.)

“The friendly former mill town on the Merrimack and Nashua rivers, 36 miles north of Boston, got there this time courtesy of a bustling high-tech-driven economy that rebounded smartly from a painful ‘89 to ‘93 recession,” said Money magazine.

New Hampshire also showed up on a national health survey by Relia-
Star Financial Corp., where it ranked second-healthiest in the nation in 1997.

New Hampshire offers state-of-the-art telecommunications through NYNEX and 13 independent telephone companies. The state’s electricity comes from the New England and Northeast regional power grids and 11 New Hampshire utilities. Natural gas is available through two utilities.

Someone had asked me earlier to shed a bit more light on how taxes drive out jobs. This article is very insightful.

2008 State Business Tax Climate Index (Fifth Edition)

by Chris Atkins and Curtis S. Dubay

Background Paper No. 57

Introduction to Executive Summary
The Tax Foundation presents the 2008 ver­sion of the State Business Tax Climate Index (SBTCI) as a tool for lawmakers, the media, and individuals alike to gauge how their states tax systems compare. Policymakers can then use the SBTCI to pinpoint changes to their tax systems that will explicitly improve their states’ standing in relation to competing states.

How much states collect in taxes is critical, but how they take it is also important. In other words, quite apart from whether a state’s total tax burden is higher than in other states, it can enact (and many states do) a set of tax laws that cause great damage to the economy.

The modern market is characterized by mobile capital and labor. Therefore, companies will locate where they have the greatest compet­itive advantage. States with the best tax systems will be most competitive in attracting new busi­nesses and be the most effective at generating economic and employment growth.

Although the market is now global, the Department of Labor reports that most mass job relocations are from one U.S. state to another rather than to an overseas location. This means that state lawmakers must be aware of how their states’ business climates stack up to others in their region and nationwide.

State lawmakers are always tempted to lure business with lucrative tax incentives and sub­sidies. This can be a dangerous proposition, as a case in Florida illustrates. In July of 2004 Florida lawmakers cried foul because a major credit card company announced it would close its Tampa call center, lay off 1,110 workers, and outsource those jobs to another company. The reason for the lawmakers’ ire was that the com­pany had been lured to Florida with a generous tax incentive package and had enjoyed nearly $3 million worth of tax breaks during the pre­vious nine years.

Lawmakers create these deals under the banner of job creation and economic develop­ment, but the truth is that if a state needs to offer such packages, it is most likely covering for a woeful business climate plagued by bad tax policy. A far more effective approach is to systematically improve the business tax cli­mate for the long term. When assessing which changes to make, lawmakers need to remem­ber these two rules:

1. Taxes matter to business. Taxes affect busi­ness decisions, job creation and retention, plant location, competitiveness, and the long-term health of a state’s economy. Most importantly, taxes diminish profits. If taxes take a larger portion of profits, that cost is passed along to either consumers (through higher prices), workers (through lower wages or fewer jobs), or shareholders (through lower dividends or share value). Thus a state with lower tax costs will be more attractive to business investment, and more likely to experience economic growth.
2. States do not enact tax changes (increases or cuts) in a vacuum. Every tax law will in some way change a state’s competitive position relative to its immediate neighbors, its geographic region, and even globally. Ultimately it will affect the state’s national standing as a place to live and to do business. Entrepreneurial states can take advan­tage of the tax increases of their neighbors to lure businesses out of high-tax states.

Clearly, there are many non-tax factors that affect a state’s business climate: its proximity to raw materi­als or transportation centers, its regulatory or legal structures, the quality of its education system and the skill of its workforce, not to mention the intan­gible perception of a state’s “quality of life.” Some of these factors are, of course, outside of the control of elected officials. Montana lawmakers cannot change the fact that Montana’s businesses have no immediate access to deepwater ports. Lawmakers do, however, have direct control over how friendly their tax systems are to business.
