The Contrast

The Real Extremists Aren't Who You Think

The media has spent years telling you that the liberty movement is radical. But when you compare the actual positions side by side, the picture flips entirely. One side wants to leave you alone. The other side wants to run your life.

Every election cycle, the establishment media paints the same picture: liberty-minded legislators are "extremists," "radicals," and "dangerous." They use the word "extreme" so often it has lost all meaning. But ask yourself a simple question -- who is actually trying to control your life?

On one side, you have people who want to lower your taxes, let you choose your child's school, and leave you alone on your own property. On the other, you have people who want to tax you more, tell you where your kids must go to school, regulate what you can eat, and fine you for not wearing a seat belt. Which side sounds extreme to you?

Side by Side

Compare the Records

Five issues. Two visions. You decide which one is "extreme."

Taxes

Liberty Movement
  • No income tax. No sales tax. That is not an accident -- it is policy.
  • Repealed the Interest & Dividends tax in 2023, ending New Hampshire's last tax on personal income
  • Cut the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax, making NH more competitive
  • "New Hampshire proves you don't need an income tax to have the best economy in America." -- Kelly Ayotte
Democrat Agenda
  • Democrats are campaigning on the "3-3 Plan" — a proposed 3% income tax that would raise over $2 billion in new taxes
  • Fought to keep the Interest & Dividends tax alive, voting against repeal every single time
  • Want New Hampshire to follow the Massachusetts model -- the state people are fleeing from
  • Every budget cycle, they push for new revenue streams that always mean new taxes on working families

Education

Liberty Movement
  • Created Education Freedom Accounts -- letting parents direct state funds to the school that fits their child
  • Made EFAs universal in 2025, expanding access to every New Hampshire family regardless of income
  • Parents choose. Whether it is public, private, home school, or micro school -- the money follows the student
  • Over 10,000 students enrolled and families reporting higher satisfaction across the board
Democrat Agenda
  • Want to repeal Education Freedom Accounts entirely and send every dollar back to the establishment system
  • Protect the institution, not the student -- oppose any policy that gives families a real choice
  • Over 100 protesters showed up at the 2026 legislative session to demand EFA repeal
  • Their position: your child goes where the government says, and you will pay for it whether it works or not

Second Amendment

Liberty Movement
  • Passed constitutional carry in 2017 -- no permit required to carry a firearm, as the Founders intended
  • Enacted knife preemption, ending the patchwork of local blade restrictions across the state
  • Blocked red flag laws year after year, protecting due process and the presumption of innocence
  • New Hampshire consistently ranks among the safest states in America -- freedom works
Democrat Agenda
  • Push red flag laws that let the government seize your firearms before you are convicted of anything
  • Want mandatory waiting periods, treating every lawful buyer like a suspect
  • Demand universal background checks on every private transfer, including between family members
  • Push for gun-free zones that disarm the law-abiding and create soft targets
  • Governor Hassan vetoed constitutional carry -- the liberty movement overrode that legacy

Personal Freedom

Liberty Movement
  • New Hampshire remains the only state with no adult seat belt law -- your car, your choice
  • Ended mandatory vehicle inspections for modern cars, saving families time and money on a bureaucratic relic
  • Passed cannabis decriminalization, ending the practice of arresting adults for small amounts of marijuana
  • Enacted food freedom laws, letting small farmers sell directly to consumers without government permission slips
Democrat Agenda
  • File seat belt mandate bills every single session -- because they know better than you
  • Push motorcycle helmet mandates for adults, overriding personal risk assessment
  • Seek vaping bans and flavor restrictions, regulating what adults choose to consume
  • The nanny state agenda: if you are doing something they disapprove of, they want a law against it

Spending & Government Size

Liberty Movement
  • Lean government that funds essentials and stays out of the way -- roads, courts, public safety
  • New Hampshire ranks #1 in return on investment for taxpayer dollars, getting results without bloat
  • Fund what matters. Cut what does not. That is not extreme -- that is responsible.
  • Lowest state tax burden in America, and still delivering top-tier outcomes in education, safety, and quality of life
Democrat Agenda
  • Propose billions in new spending every biennium -- paid for by the taxes you currently do not have
  • Expanding bureaucracy is the answer to every problem: more agencies, more staff, more overhead
  • Want to "transform" New Hampshire into something unrecognizable -- a high-tax, high-regulation state
  • Every new program becomes permanent, every temporary tax becomes forever, and every budget only grows
Think About It

So Ask Yourself

Who is the extremist -- the person who wants to leave you alone, or the person who wants to control how you educate your children, how much of your paycheck you keep, and whether you can carry a firearm?

Who is radical -- the legislator who votes to lower your taxes and get government out of your way, or the one who files a bill every session to fine you for not wearing a seat belt?

Who is dangerous -- the movement that built the freest, safest, most prosperous state in the country, or the party that wants to turn it into Massachusetts?

The record is clear. The contrast is undeniable. And the choice is yours.
