Not really shocking
CONCORD – The Granite State motto says it all, doesn’t it?
New Hampshire has been named the freest state in the United States according to The Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C. think tank.
The Granite State ranked No. 1 based on research including fiscal policy, personal freedoms, education, and others. New Hampshire ranked first in the fiscal category.
All the other states in New England finished in the bottom 20 in the rankings.
Among the unique facts about New Hampshire, the state holds the title as having the highest quality of life in the country. It also has the lowest poverty rate. The state is the only state without neither an income tax nor a sales tax. The state also has no seat belt laws and no mandatory car insurance thus relying on the free market to drive prices low enough to opt over 90% of drivers to have coverage. New Hampshire is also the only state in America to have abolished a previous state minimum wage law, thus having one of the lowest youth employment and adult unemployment rates in America, along with the lowest homeless population in America. Rhode Island meanwhile, of equal size and population which also straddles Massachusetts, has among the highest minimum wage laws in America and also struggles with the country’s highest unemployment and homeless rates.
New Hampshire has no knife laws, very lax fireworks laws, and has banned police use of license plate readers and municipal use of red light cameras.
The Free State also has been ranked as having the highest income mobility for minorities in America.
Looks like Libertarianism is working pretty good for one state.
