couldn't disagree with you more. As the owner of a couple of small businesses, I've found NH to be a very entreprenurial state with lots of opportunity and little of the stifling beurocracy I've seen elsewhere. I recently read where we have the highest per capita income and the lowest poverty rate in the country. Highest percentage of people with insurance, etc.
