The problem that that approach is that they can sneek tax hikes up on 
you.. "Oh, it's only a .2% tax increase on one of the levels" they just 
do that every couple years, then after say 4-5 years you effectively 
have had a 2-3% tax hike that you didn't think was  big deal because 
they did it in small chunks over different parts of the tax code.

People complain about the high property taxes in NH, but at least you 
know what you're paying and it's right there in front of your face.. not 
hidden all over the place with income and sales tax.
