Who thinks there will be a critical mass?
« on: October 06, 2011, 01:47:11 am »

Every day it seems like America is getting less free. The FED is inflating the money supply to the point where FED notes are toilet paper. Once the gov. finally caves in to the socialitss protesting on Wall ST. and cancels student debt inflation will go through the roof and we'll all be poor. Regulations are worse now then they ever were in history.

I want to know when the breaking point is. At what point will liberty-loving Americans decide there fed up w/ growing move towards socialism and mass migrate to NH? Pretty soon every other state will be on the road to serfdom like Hayek predicted. I can bet NH will be like the Palestine mandate during the 1930s with people from all over migrating to one area where they can be free (which will be NH in our case.)

When do you think it will happen? I'd guess sometime between now and 2015 if Ron Paul isn't elected.

Much of what I say is only my humble opinion

I think a lot of people would be moving now, but have been delayed due to:

1) Cost of real estate

2) Cost of property tax

3) Style or age of housing available

4) The winter temps, ice, and snow

5) Other reasons

I think a lot of people have noticed that something smells rotten and want to make the move, but have obstacles in their path.  Just a guess.

I think there could be critical mass.  But so many true Libertarians don't want to move (e.g, from California or Florida).  We could have a voting block and not just a group of activists.  I'm like the original poster in that I don't understand why people are so foolish and believe in the Democratic and Republican parties.

I've been on the mises.org forum and asked why people didn't want to join the FSP and move. The reasons they gave were all of yours and claimed that NH is no more free then other states.

claimed that NH is no more free then other states.

1) The Mercatus Center disagrees.
http://mercatus.org/freedom-50-states-2011/NH

This says, to me, that we need to do more advertising to this demographic.



2) This is also why political action is so crucial. Our victories there give specific reasons why people would want to move to NH now
Everyone knows these two big examples, there are many more
a) No seat belt law (that we still have none was a major political win, my friends)
b) No knife laws (recent rollback!)

This says, to me, that everyone should make an easy monthly donation to the NH Liberty Alliance. What can you afford? $5? $10? Any amount -- especially a recurring amount -- really helps!!!

Start an account on the mises.org forums and promote the FSP there.

http://mises.org/Community/forums/

I'm not sure the removal of seatbelt laws or knife laws will do much to convince these people. They want to know about the free market and lack of taxes. They also want opportunity.

I wish there were more free-market think tanks and academic institutions promoting austrian econ inside NH. That way a lot of these kids would have a huge incentive to move. Lew Rockwell should move the Mises Institute from Auburn to Keene or Concord for one.

Lots of regulation was repealed this past year.
This coming session I'm excited about legislation establishing a state Bank... that would be required to hold reserves in Gold & Silver.

So we're now excited when the State does something that it doesn't have to do?
