Let's stop the madness. The quotes below are from a man infinitely more qualified than the politicians who think a government should have the right to take more and more of our money in the form of taxation:

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson, America's most intelligent founding father.

Is there anyone who thinks that Obama, Hassen, Kuster, Porter, Webber or St. Laurent are more intelligent than Thomas Jefferson?  

How have we let the principles upon which this country was founded slip so far from our understanding of liberty and responsibility? Its time to stop the wasted spending of bloated government. Give a government more money and you will get more government. Vote yes on Question 1 - say no permanently to a NH state income tax; it’s about the freedom to spend your earnings in a manner that is agreeable to you.
