Aug 26, 2019 by AFP

MANCHESTER, NH – Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire (AFP-NH) on Wednesday is hosting a Policy and Pints event at Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton at 6:30PM. The open, public event is a part of AFP’s “Unrig the Economy” campaign, a multiyear, multimillion-dollar effort dedicated to creating a stronger economy by leveling playing field for all.

The policy discussion will focus on why Congress should not bring back tax extenders or reauthorize the Export-Import Bank – two blatant examples of corporate welfare.

“Corporate welfare and government sweetheart deals to politically favored companies are putting our country on a path of less growth and opportunity. We are continuing our efforts to educate and inform people about the need to eliminate corporate welfare, starting with some egregious forms of cronyism in the Export-Import Bank and tax extenders,” said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director.” “AFP will continue to reach out across the state and work with anyone to unrig our economy and help level the playing field for all Granite Staters.”
