To The Daily Sun,
The State of New Hampshire and Gov. Kelly Ayotte have reached a new low in their plan to help balance the state budget by levying a tax on the salaries of Medicaid recipients. A family with a single parent and two children, earning approximately $68,000 per year, would be levied a tax of approximately $280 per month, money needed for food, fuel, rent, car payments or clothing. Meanwhile Gov. Ayotte and the Republican legislators are happy to freely provide education freedom account vouchers totaling $10,000 per year to a family of four (two adults and two children) with an annual income of $110,000 in order to send these children to a religious school, a private school or to be home schooled. These vouchers deprive our public schools of necessary money and resources and in the process will increase towns' property taxes. This would appear to be a reverse Robin Hood — rob from the poor to feed the rich.
