2016 NH Governor's race: on Tax Reform

Mark Connolly: N.H. needs more revenue, but not via a broad-based tax

He doesn't favor casino gambling, a perennial State House issue that some lawmakers and Hassan have promoted as a way to raise state revenue. "The market is saturated," he said. "Maybe 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, but now it doesn't make sense."

Chris Sununu: Pledge to veto state sales tax and income tax

Ray Metcalfe: Tax cuts for the rich threw surplus into the toilet

A: Eight years ago when George Bush stole the election, this nation had a huge revenue surplus on the horizon. A surplus that could have fixed Social Security and Medicare, paid off the national debt, and provided health care to every American. A beautiful future was before us but George Bush threw it all in the toilet with tax cuts for his rich friends and a misguided war that's draining our treasury and exhausting our military. We now have a government that listens to our phone calls, reads our emails, and monitors our bank accounts. These are things that need to change.
