Per an article in the Union Leader, on October 21 and 22 of 2009, Susan Almy of the NH House of Representatives will be holding a two-day tax ‘summit’ at the Legislative Office Building. October 21 the session will run from 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM in LOB 202-4 and on October 22 it will run from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM in LOB 206-8.
EDITORIAL: Susan’s secret; Pitching an income tax
Publication: New Hampshire Union Leader (Manchester, NH)
“If some of the highest-ranking state legislators were outspoken abortion opponents and they were caught organizing a secret legislative summit on state abortion policy, the left would go nuts. So it should come as no surprise that people are alarmed by the revelation last week of a so-called legislative economic summit organized by top House members who support an income tax.”
This will not be a public hearing where ordinary taxpayers can attend and speak. Instead, there will be a list of groups touted as ‘experts’ – some from DC who list backers such as wealthy foundations and elitist groups from out of the country.
The group ITEP testified for an income tax in March of 2009.
After visiting their main website, we saw that George Soros, David Rockefeller and the TIDES foundation were listed as funding sources…
The Open Society Institute is George Soros’ main group and the Tides Foundation is also Soros-funded, and is who funds ACORN, the group linked to Wade Rathke that you have likely heard so much about in the news..
The Granite State Fair Tax Coalition is funded by a David Rockefeller group and has been infiltrating local town meetings to try to drum up support for trashing the candidates’ “Pledge” against broadbased taxes.
Where are our real, grassroots local taxpayer groups? Were they even invited?
Taxpayers and voters are urged to show up although they will not be allowed to speak. There will be an 8:30 press conference in the lobby of the LOB.
