  • New Hampshire Has No Income Tax

  • We still have to pay federal income tax. There is no state income tax.

    Yes we have public schools and hospitals, yes we pave our roads. I think a lot of people have been led to believe it is either or, but it turns out when taxes are lowered, government starts prioritizing their spending better.

    We have a lot of taxes for specific uses, where only tbe user pays it: a tax on liquor, toll roads, a tax on gambling profits and a tax on hotel stays.  None of these are essential goods or services. So if you don't use them, you don't pay it. 🙂

  • New Hampshire has no sales tax either. At the local level we have property tax.  We also collect a decent amount of money from toll roads, a tax on liquor, a tax on gambling profits and a tax on hotel stays and restaurants.  Oh and there is a payroll tax.

    As you can see, we rely more on user fees than broad based taxes.  The way to lower your taxes is to not partake in these services.

    As you mentioned, both income and sales tax are basically a tax on living your normal life.

  • Well, New Hampshire is pretty wooded ✅

    I think the vast majority of Americans love our society. We all just disagree about how to make it better!

  • You're right. There's still work to do!

    Weed is legal for medical use, and a bill for recreational use passed the house this year, but it died in the Senate.

    Also, there is legislation to cap property taxes at the rate of inflation.

  • It is. Broad-based taxes take money from everyone whether they use the service or not. With a user fee, the way to avoid paying it is to not use the service.

  • You got me! 🙂

    • Yes, our property taxes are kind of high. There is legislation proposed this year to cap them at inflation.
    • I don't think our Business Enterprise (payroll) tax is that high, but there is also a rollback planned for this year, from 0.55% to 0.50%.
    • We receive our share of federal gas tax, and we have tolls on the major highways which generate money for road repairs. That's more of a user fee than a tax, which is much better!

    All of that still doesn't change the fact that our workers take home 100% of their pay (from the state at least)! 🙂

  • Well, I don't think they are doing a good job then. Our entire federal delegation (Congress and Senate) are all Democrats.

    The Liberty community is much more interested in improving New Hampshire than Washington DC. 🙂

  • In general, Libertarians will support fewer taxes and regulations.  So they are on the right on economic issues.

    One key difference between Libertarians and Republicans lies in social issues. When it comes to LGBT issues, cannabis legalization, criminal justice reform, etc they tend to agree with Democrats.

    For this reason, they don't really identify with one party or the other.

    • Less government in business = good!

  • Well for two reasons:

    1. When someone makes a blanket statement calling an entire group of people "racist fucks", I don't think any amount of reasoning will change their mind.
    2. The second half of their comment was "No one takes them seriously". Now that is a point I am willing to debate. When a political group controls roughly 20% of the elected seats in the state house and they have legislative victories to point to, I don't think it's fair to say that no one takes them seriously.

  • Okay fine. We can discuss it more if you want...

    The intent of the quote in both my example and yours is to say "don't bow to a king". In my case, the King of England, in your case the Penn Family. You are correct that the way it was expressed in your context was a state legislator refusing to give a prominent family a tax break. In my case a refusal to accept terms to maintain status as a British colony. Either way, the intent of the quote is to not give up your liberty for a false sense of security.

    I think the "No Kings" interpretation is a good one, given the recent No Kings pretests in the US, eh?

  • The transportation infrastructure, yes. The local roads are maintained by the local cities and towns. The state highways are maintained by the state department of transportation. Funding comes from a combination of federal gas tax revenue and tolls on the major highways.

    Government spending is all about tradeoffs. I'm sure there are other programs that are well funded in other states that don't even exist in New Hampshire.
