NH has high property taxes, but most of those taxes are spent at the local level. 9% meals tax & NH owns all the state liquor stores so they get a lot of tax money from tourists. NH has a very lean government. Not many state workers & they get by. They also have no in-state estate tax or ANY capital gains taxes which makes the job they do running the state on the cheap remarkable.

Looks like a lesson all the states need to look at. Or better yet, all the citizens of each state need to have their state look at the 'New Hampshire model' of state and local government finances. Very lean government sounds good to me and I suspect, most Americans. Now if all the states did this, then let the marches begin to 'lean' the US Federal Government. Lean = less taxes all around.

Then throw in an Article V convention to rein in the Federal behemoth.
