Roads: An answer to a question from my brother.

The genesis of this blog post was a comment by my brother left on a previous blog post of mine. He had asked this question; once I gain my freedom, how will the issues of Policing, the Military, and the Roads be taken care of. My answer is based on things that have already happened, so it is based in fact, rather than pie in the sky theory.

I will divide my answer into two blog posts, starting with the roads, and I will post the second half about the police and military in a few days or so.

Julia Miranda on Taxes

julia-city.jpgKeene Citizens Government Review asked this question of city council candidates: What specifically would you recommend doing to hold down spending and, thus, prevent high tax increases?

Here is my answer:

I’m not only interested in preventing tax increases, I’d like to actually lower taxes. Many politicians say this, but I’m serious. To prove it, I’m giving all of my tax funded paychecks back to sixteen lucky Ward Four taxpayers that vote in this election. There is only one realistic way to cut taxes and it’s to transition programs to voluntary funding methods, while voting down government increases. The truth is, no one knows how to spend your money better than you. A vote for me is one for personal responsibility!

National Issues Allowed?

QuestionEric just posted about the minimum wage, but in an article solely about Washington DC. We need to decide on whether non-Keene related posts belong here.

On one hand, I don’t want the blog to be devoid of content, but on the other hand this blog is intended to highlight issues and solutions to government coercion – in the Keene area. I can certainly see extending the coverage to NH related issues, but I’m concerned about losing focus. Please post your comments. Should national issues be off limits unless they are tied into Keene?
