Use the scroll bar to get to NH.
For the last year reported (2004) we were number 48 out of the 50 states. In this case, that makes us the 3rd biggest "Donor" State
New Hampshire historically has been near the top of the list that ranks how many Federal Tax dollars are sent to Washington in relation to what the Federal Government spends, or sends back to the state.
NH gets back about 50 cents on the dollar, while Arizona gets about $2.00 back on each dollar sent.
I've written to both Senators and both Congressman suggesting they may want to look around Washington DC and see if they can find a way to get a little more back for what we send.
Guess how many replies I got back?
