We have the same thing in Texas, no income tax. Although, we do have sales tax so it's not exactly the same. Our property taxes are high for the same reason. I could understand making up for the taxes however they need to. From the looks of things, New Hampshire does a much better job of managing money than Texas (just looking at statistics). Personally, I wouldn't want to move to an area and not contribute to the economy and make it better. I was weary of making the comment about the tax status, I thought about disclaiming it with the notion that I'm all for contributing :-)

While NH does have a more minimalist government then many other
states, there are still plenty of state, county, and municipal
services. Roads and education are two big budget items that even most
financial conservatives consider essential. They cost lots of money,
and that money has to come from *somewhere*. There's no state income
tax and no state sales tax, so that leaves mainly property taxes.
Which, unsurprisingly, are some of the highest in the nation.
There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
