New Hampshire has the highest Median Income?

And is known for being Right Wing in their economic Policies, such as no state income taxes, and no sales taxes.

So does this mean, Right Wing Policies are best economically?

Update:

We have the 2nd lowest tax burden in the Union. The 1st is Alaska.

Update 2:

We are a Libertarian state. Obama got the NH vote because, of Bush's bad reputation.

In the 2004 Primaries 257 democrats wrote in Bush Jr, rather than vote Democrat in the primaries.

In the 2000 Primaries 3,320 democrats wrote in McCain, rather than vote Democrat in the primaries.

We do not have a open Primary, those was write ins.

Update 3:

Philip, you are Racist, minorities have nothing to do with the economy.

    No.

    First, NH is known for being pretty centrist, with an economy based upon agriculture, logging, and tourism, and is a state with few if any urban areas. Your problem is that you are trying to oversimplify a much larger more complex issue, to get to display conclusion that you simply "want" (or think you want) to be so.

    Sadly, this is pretty typical for the message of today's Republican politicians. As Americans, we must ask that you try to be smarter than that, and don't just simply be a mindless lemming following a few right-wing charlatans and corporate shills.

    NH voted for Kerry in 2004, and Obama over McCain by double-digits in 2008, so it doesn't sound like a right-wing state to me.

    They’re taxed plenty in N.H. and it’s not the state with the highest median income historically - at least up to two years ago.

    By the way...isn’t New Hampshire where Michele Bachmann thinks Lexington/Concord was? hehe

    BUT...if they’re doing SO well, and they have done well...why do you suppose the Repubilcans NOW want to end collective bargaining in the state? Didn’t seem to be a hindrance to income before, did it?

    You should see their property taxes.. they are through the roof.. They still have to get money from somewhere, and it comes from the property taxes.

    You took away most of their revenue.

    They must be selling drugs.

    Or the property taxes must be outrageous.

    Not to be racist, but...

    How many minorities do you have as a percentage of your population?
