Being blind does not exempt someone from paying the property tax on a property with a view because they could sell the property to someone who has good eyesight and would appreciate the view.

Ray Charles was one of a very few blind people, I believe, who was also very wealthy. Most blind people probably have very limited earning capability. So that means Ray had an unfair advantage here in New Hampshire because he could buy a home on a lot with no view an not be bothered about that.

Therefore, NH should tax the blind a double property tax since to them, no view is no problem. This would then become part of the New Hampshire Advantage, double-tax the blind,......yeah!
