New Hampshire is obsessed with taxes, but our real threat is biology. With 31% of our population nearing retirement and a shrinking workforce pipeline, the "Silver Wave" is officially cresting.In this episode, we unpack the "Hidden Fiscal Loop": how a shortage of workers causes business tax revenue to dwindle, forcing the state to shift costs to cities and towns. The result? Rising property taxes for the very residents trying to save money by blocking growth.Narration in this episode is AI-generated, based on scripts prepared and reviewed by the host.
