These folks are taking "Live Free or Die" to the extreme!! New Hampshire's state and local governments have learned how to 'live within their means;'
{*}New Hampshire governments spent 20% less--per capita--than it's New England neighbors, primarily through tightened income eligibility requirements for Medicaid; the state's low poverty rate reduced expenditures on welfare programs.
"New Hampshire is known for it's desire to have a more limited role for the public sector, and so those choices come into account."--Yolanda Kodrzycki of The Fed's 'New England Public Policy Center.'{*}
New Hampshire's income stream includes taxes on: property, meals, hotel rooms, tobacco, dividends and a 'business enterprise' tax-among others. The revenue stream does not include an income tax or a general sales tax.
I lived in New Hampshire--twice--for a time in the 1960s and again in the 1970s. I enjoyed most aspects of my time there. If they didn't get so much danged snow; if it weren't so danged cold up there--I'd be living there now, rather than the socialist, marxist, fascist, communist State of New York!!
