NH Senate Debate: on Tax Reform


Doris Haddock: Tax cuts for the wealthiest American cannot be justified

HADDOCK: You voted for tax cuts for the wealthiest American at a time of war? How can you justify that when we’re not secure and we have the largest budget deficit in history?

GREGG: I believe very strongly we made the right decision to cut taxes when we did. We were coming out of the biggest bubble in the ‘90s we have seen and then we had 9/11.
