I don't believe that a state income tax is the answer and agree with the points that all of the previous posters mentioned. Additionally, you have to create another department that will collect, monitor, report and manage it all. We don't need more red-tape or more taxes.
I'd rather see meal taxes go up or taxes on alcohol - things you don't have to have to survive but that are more "luxury" items.
However, something is going to have to happen because there's serious problems with the NH State Retirement system - they're not properly funded and those who are paying into the system are getting worried if they're going to have anything to retire on... it shouldn't be like that. Something has to happen....
