Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

Candidate's Facebook Page, 2024

"It seems to me that when Kelly Atotte campaigns on keeping taxes low, she’s not talking about property taxes. Because as Republicans lower business taxes and capital gains taxes and any other tax they can lower, it just means our property taxes increase. The state doesn’t run without taxes. The question is, should those taxes keep going up for us while they keep going down for big business and the wealthy?’"

"A living wage for a single person in NH is $23.58 an hour or $943 for 40 hours of work before deductions. Yet, there is no minimum wage in NH, so by default it is $7.25 an hour which is the federal minimum wage. Probably no one works for $7,25 an hour, but plenty of people work for $13 an hour. That comes out to $26,000 a year before deductions for taxes and healthcare if it’s offered. Someone “ making” $26,000 with no children pays $3,350 in federal income taxes  That means before a deduction for healthcare, if it’s offered,  a person’s take home wage is about $470 a week. Think about trying to live on that for a moment. Think about trying to rent even a studio apartment and paying utilities. There isn’t much left over for luxuries like food and gas to get to work. 

"We need a living wage in NH."
