Seven years ago, we were in a small space.

My wife’s daughters and I shared a home in central New Hampshire with our parents, and even that simple living arrangement was not enough to make it affordable after a while. Property taxes were too high and we climbed (even in our strict fist red town), maintenance costs became outrageous and we had long-standing pay to go the wrong way. In the midst of that tense confusion, my father passed away – of course it was his heart – and my sister and her family ended up selling partially next door locations so that my mother could stay, taking over the old house. We all agreed that it is the best option for the few people our extended clan has access to. Meanwhile, the four of us – family within the family – found a starter house that we felt we could afford and started again in a new town with a new school for girls. For us, it was not the softest landing.

We didn’t move.

The first year of that new life was tough and we lost almost everything. My wife and I both worked full time, but had many credit card debts. The minimum payments combined with mortgages, utilities and other standard living expenses remained nothing at the end of the month. If you didn’t know us, if you weren’t there, it would be just as good a guess as we were the result of living beyond our means. After all, every family has to live on a budget, and every family has to learn how to settle their fat.

The thing is that nothing was there. Thousands of debt were not the result of holidays. We never took it. It wasn’t for nights in town or Amazon splurges. It’s how much it costs to total over the first 15 years of our lives to maintain a floating young family of four in New Hampshire. For emergency home and car repairs, what we haven’t come is all accidental bills that will redraw school clothes and supplies for girls, or books.

Ultimately, we felt that the only option was to do exactly what the experts say you shouldn’t. For us, the choices have either sink now or struggled later. In other words, there were no options at all.

I share all of these personal details, but it’s annoyingly not because I think my family’s stories are unique, but because in most ways it’s not. In America, it’s so expensive that you don’t have anything. And that’s why political debate in this country hits me as a kind of insanity. We have created a system that puts endless economic pressure on the middle and lower classes. The big myth is that those who feel you are under you on that class of ladder are beneficial and dissatisfied beneficiaries of your diligence, your taxes, your struggles. But they are not. And I have to believe that no matter what political party you support, you will see that day.

The entire American political organisation, long owned by the actual beneficiaries of that downward economic pressure, functions as architects of grand fantasy. But American rights take the cake – for a long time – in a modest and in the wrong direction, it’s a bitter bite.

In this state, they say:

Don’t ask about Tax revenue losses of $1.17 billion For New Hampshire, all these wise business tax cuts. The real problem is that trans women and girls enter our public bathrooms and play in the school soccer field.

How can you talk about NH GOP? Eliminate interest and dividend taxes to serve the richand when we are very clear, another $150 million losses to public services Under attack By murder immigrants?

Certainly, your property taxes are high and high, but don’t condemn New Hampshire’s hatred of progressive taxation. The problem is that the district is spending all its hard-earned money. Smut And important racial theory lesson.

Speaking of schools, don’t worry about how the Republican voucher program diverts public funds to private and religious schools. i doubt it It adds to transparency and our plagued public school struggle. But do you know what you should be worried about? Mostly have one – those ne’er-do-wells registered on Medicaid and snaps – Use it of the system. This is a much bigger deal than billionaires like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
