We demand a state budget that invests in our future, not one that smothers our hope for the basic American dream.

The Republican budget is economic sabotage. While working families face rising costs for health care, college, housing, and child care, Republicans are slashing services to protect tax breaks for the rich and powerful corporations. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s a rigged system that’s stealing our future.

Why It Matters

  • The budget adds a new “Medicaid Income Tax” of up to $280/month, while gutting recovery services and raising prescription drug costs.

  • It slashes community mental health funding by 37%, pushing more people into overcrowded ERs without care

  • It cuts $15 million from child care support and eliminates the Office of the Child Advocate—hurting families, kids, and working moms.

  • It slashes $68 million from public colleges, triggering tuition hikes, job cuts, and fewer student services.

  • With a 90,000-unit housing shortage, this budget adds zero dollars and kills programs that help build more homes.

The Bottom Line: This isn’t about balancing the budget—it’s about shifting the burden onto workers and their families to fund tax breaks for rich CEOs and multinational corporations.

The full petition

This Budget Is Economic Sabotage. We're Not Paying the Price for Corporate Tax Breaks.

While young Granite Staters struggle with rising costs for health care, housing, college, and child care, Republican leaders are pushing a budget that guts the services we rely on, just to protect tax breaks for the ultra-rich and powerful corporations.

This budget isn’t just bad policy. It’s a direct attack on our future.

Here’s what the budget does:

  • Raises health care costs by creating a new “Medicaid Income Tax” of up to $280/month, ending prescription drug savings, and gutting recovery programs and family planning care.

  • Cuts community mental health by 37%—fueling ER overcrowding and blocking access to care.

  • Strips $15 million from child care, making it harder for parents (especially women of color) to stay in the workforce and provide for their families.

  • Slashes $68 million from public colleges, forcing tuition hikes and layoffs, while pushing more young people to leave New Hampshire.

  • Invests $0 in new housing—even as homelessness soars and the state falls 90,000 units short.

Meanwhile, corporate CEOs and the ultra-rich keep their tax breaks, they rig the system and expect our generation to foot the bill.

We, the undersigned, demand a fair budget that puts working people first—not the ultra-rich and greedy corporations. No more tax breaks for the rich while our future gets sold off piece by piece.
