Liforelaxin, How do you figure that states who have sales and income taxes are holding property taxes in check? There are many other states that have high property taxes as well as income and sales taxes. If NH institutes a sales tax, income tax or both, I promise you property taxes will not go down. And then we will be paying high property taxes and an income tax and or sales tax.

I lived in Mass all my life until I moved to NH 11 years ago and I never want to go back. I am also paying much less in taxes in NH even though many think property taxes are high in NH. I beg to differ. My parents pay a similar amount in property taxes in Mass for a similar size house and their land is 3200 square feet. I have over an acre of land.

All states and towns across the country are complaining about decreased revenues no matter how many taxes they have. Elected officials who support higher taxes amaze me. Don't they know that raising taxes will lower tax revenues? Look at history and when taxes are lowered revenues increase. When taxes are raised revenues decrease.
