It is kind of a joke when liberals try to tell us which state has the most “freedom”. My wife and I could not afford the "freedom" that New Hampshire provides.

For an example scroll down in this real estate ad that I am using only for an example and look at the projected property taxes if you paid the asking price of $800,000 for this 3,000 sq ft house. The rate is 2.2% per year and it comes to $1466 a month or $17,598 a year.

We could afford to buy the house, but being on a fixed income the property taxes would eat us alive. Freedom is not free in New Hampshire.

In Alabama where the tax rate is much lower you could pay $805,000 for the following 8,000 sq ft house and your property taxes if calculated on the purchase price and a rate of .32% a year would be only $220 a month or $2,640 a year.

Freedom is still not free in Alabama, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper than New Hampshire.

Again I have no connection with either property they are being used only as examples of the difference in property tax rates.

CATO is not liberal.

But perhaps they’re a little blind or foolish.

NH has no income or sales tax, but the property taxes are very high.
