New Hampshire Has One of the Lowest Overall Tax Burdens in the Nation (Again!)

Data Point – Best and Worst Taxed States
by Skip
While NH Progressives focus ONLY on property tax, in New Hampshire the overall tax burden is always one of the lowest in the nation. But Democrats never, EVER want to talk about that.

NHBR Bemoans NH’s High Property Taxes but Ignores What That Means for Total Tax Burden
When the New Hampshire media reports on our state’s reliance on property taxes you always hear how they are “some of the highest in the nation.” It’s true. Why don’t these same media outlets note, in the same breath, that this might be why our total tax burden is one of the lowest in the nation?
