Letter
On the
road the other day I noticed a bumper sticker on the pickup truck
ahead of me that said: I’ll Keep My Freedom, My Guns And My Money,
You Can Keep Your “Change.”
I wonder if the owner of the
truck knew that his federal taxes are lower than they have been in
the past 30 years. And they got to this point during that “Change”
president’s first term. The stimulus that has kept the country
from falling into a depression over the last three and a half years
gave all of us tax cuts.
It’s frustrating to hear over and over
that President Obama, and Democrats in general, are the ones raising
our taxes. Yet it’s Mitt Romney who is proposing changes that would
raise taxes on middle class Americans. The driver of the pickup I
was following may be a millionaire, some of them do drive old pickup
trucks. Analysis of Romney’s tax plan shows that it would raise
taxes on 95% of Americans. If the pickup driver has an income over a
million dollars, he’ll get a raise in his income of 4.1%, but the
bottom 95% of us will have to pay an average of $500 more a year to
get him that raise. An average middle-class family will get a $2000
hit under Romney’s plan.
That driver still has his guns,
especially here in NH. He still has his freedom, and he’s got
a bit more money in his pocket too!

The
July 3rd meeting of the HLWC was held at Bob and Joann Bailey’s camp
on Jenness Pond. A picnic lunch was followed by dessert
provided by Ginny Rogers and Lucy Silva. For this, our annual baby
shower for Concord Hospital, everyone brought layette items. Ginny
led two humorous quizzes. The weather was sunny with a brisk wind, a
welcomed change from last year’s overpowering heat.
President
Ginny Rogers will be traveling to Windham, New Hampshire on August
22nd to attend the GFWC-NH’s summer board meeting.
