One thing we know, for a fact, is that adding a sales or income tax in any state has NEVER lowered the overall tax burden over time, NEVER ! It all comes back to spending. Control the spending. Just read the posts from the NJ residents here to see what adding new tax streams has done for that state. Connecticut is another case. They added an income tax in the 90s with the promise of lowering the overall tax burden......never happened.
If someone could show me one state where new tax streams, once opened up, lower the overall tax burden, then I'll listen. Since it has never happened anywhere I think it's a waste of time to debate this issue with people who have an agenda.
If people just want to shift the property tax burden off of their backs.......fine, just say so. But let's not pretend it's going to solve the overall tax issue in NH, or bring taxes down.
