NC Democrats Punish Poor

Democrats in North Carolina have completed their sweep this year in punishing those who produce in North Carolina -- HARD. They raised the sales tax across the state. They authorized counties to raise the sales tax even more -- so many counties across North Carolina can now look forward to a whopping seven percent sales tax. In addition, they approved the tax on moving -- up to 0.6% of a home's price (for this week, look for increases soon). So now if you want to move anywhere in the state, it's likely that you'll pay that tax as punishment for moving.

Whenever the government taxes an activity, there will be less of that activity. And when the taxes apply to all, the poor are always the hardest hit. Now the poor people will have a harder time buying, well, anything because everything now costs MORE because the sales tax applies to everyone. In addition, the new tax on moving will make it more difficult for people to move. Those who are having trouble making their house payments will now have a harder time resolving those problems.

Nicely done, Democrats. Make it more expensive for people to live in North Carolina AND make it harder for them to move away. Tell me again how Democrats "support the poor?" Quick, before the taxes go into effect, I suggest moving to New Hampshire: no sales tax, no state income tax.

2 Actually, no. The current legislature not withstanding, New Hampshire is one of the most free states in the nation. AND there are a lot of people currently moving there who plan to make it more free!
