A lot of shitty schools out there. It’s also about parent involvement.

Just remember, by owning property and paying taxes on it, you get to deduct them from your federal tax every year, your neighbor doesn't. You move and sell your house, you get to keep all that beautiful equity, your neighbor doesn't. You always come out ahead by owning property

This is to easy.

Memories of when I was in my twenties and had an endless supply of pallets...

wow, you are quite literally too stupid to make fun of. Governor Sam Brownback is an actual person, a former governor of Kansas whose libertarian policies were so incredibly unpopular and destructive (they literally couldn’t even keep street lights on or cops on the payroll the state was so broke) that they were repealed less than 4 years after their introduction, and the state of kansas is still deeply in debt due to his policies.

2% actually, even more offended now! Didn’t government indoctrination teach you to not be such a racist bully?!

I’m .02% African according to 23 and me. I take offense to this.

sounds good governor brownback 🫡

If the choice is between TDS and Comcast it isn't a choice...

TDS has been utterly reliable for us.

Damn that’s a good idea! I’ll start in Keene and work my way out.

Only real estate holders pay the tax.

We can argue that those renting pay the tax also through the landlord. But money doesn’t have names attached.

Just because I say -about time- doesn’t mean I am not willing to pay. I am answering the topic. It doesn’t say defund schools…. It doesn’t say no one should pay for school… it says real estate tax dollars should not be the source of educational funding.

Not communism- simply tired of paying 8k in school taxes where my neighbor who rents and has 6 kids pays zero. And I have zero kids in school..

Now, I am going to super popular!! If there was only another revenue source in New Hampshire ….. hmmmmm….

I am from a western state where SOME property tax is used and income tax does the rest. ( wait.. wait… hold that down vote!!). I am not suggesting that.. but there must be a way that everyone participates- not just those who hold real estate.

Okay. Go ahead. Continue to down vote.

also, asking out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on “right to work” laws?

You might find something in North Conway or maybe one of the ski resorts along 302.

Regardless, have fun, happy new year, and stay safe!

yeah dude absolutely! however, since our public education system is fully integrated into the social services package that YOU receive as a resident of your town, state, and country, in order to not be a hypocrite you would also need to do some little things like stop using public roads, sidewalks and spaces, stop using emergency response services such as 911, as well as refusing delivery of any and all utilities, including cable and electricity.

if this is too burdensome for you i guess you could also establish your own sovereign state where public education isn’t offered.

You went to an underfunded school and now you want to perpetuate that by reducing funding to poor schools? Really?

TLDR:

In New Hampshire, the state does not have a statewide education property tax. Instead, the funding for public education is provided through a combination of local property taxes and state funding.

Local property taxes are collected by individual towns and cities and are used to fund the operation of the local public school district. The amount of property tax that a homeowner pays is determined by the value of their property and the tax rate set by the local municipality.

In addition to local property taxes, the state of New Hampshire also provides funding for public education through the state's Education Trust Fund. This fund is supported by a variety of sources, including state taxes and federal grants. The state uses this funding to supplement the funding provided by local property taxes and to help ensure that all public school districts in the state have the resources they need to provide a high-quality education to their students.

MA is calling your name. Seems you invite higher taxes and socialism. Let the strong survive.

Sorry I went to an underfunded school, if they were all privatized I would be on your level of grammatical corrections.

In turn I should be able to opt out of funding public education if that’s the attitude right?

Near Gorham? Just hit up the nearest liquor store and have fun at home.

All my recommendations are over 2 hours south. (Dover, Hampstead, Concord, Derry)

Edit: just in case anyone is curious:

Concord: Chuck’s BARbershop

Dover: Fury's Publick House

East Hampstead: Jamison’s

Derry: The Stumble Inn Bar & Grill

> have descent schools like the rest of us.

The fucking irony! 🤣

How exactly are you being punished for living in a nice town?
