Trouble for Little John, Trouble for Us All

Dean Barnett at Hugh Hewitt explains how the re-election prospects of Senator John Sununu, Jr. (R-NH) might be harmed by demographic changes.

It's all the result of an insidious plot in which New Hampshire lured Massachusetts residents to the Granite State by having no income tax or sales tax while Taxachusetts of course had healthy ones. Many people and companies who didn't like paying more taxes than necessary relocated from Massachusetts to the home of Living Free or Dying Hard. I know what you’re thinking – "I thought liberals liked paying taxes. This should have bolstered New Hampshire’s conservative population." Alas, this isn’t quite correct. Liberals don’t like paying taxes so much as they like other people paying taxes. Anyway, they voted with their feet.
