While there are five states with no sales tax; Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon ..... there's only one state with both no sales and no income tax ...... the NH Advantage! ...... so, go put that tax factoid into your pipe and smoke it? Does NH have a property tax?

And in Alaska, individual cities have the option to impose a 2% sales tax, like Wasilla and Sarah Palin with its Walmart and Home Depot and building a 7-mil swim pool, ice rink, and gym, or something. (not checked for accuracy?)

Getting back to Governor's Island ...... a lot of those mega million dollar homes on the north or outer side, that face me, seem to have the incurable defect of both facing north and being situated down the bottom of their shoreline slope. They is at the bottom of the hillside, which translates to being in the shade from about 4-pm on, in the summer, and maybe from 3:00 on. They can keep it.

Up till the recently imposed 10-thousand dollar limit on deducting property and state income tax, paying big property taxes was a great super-duper deal for rich people because it entirely got deducted off their federal income taxes, but not any more, as of April 15, 2019. Of course, you needed or need to be paying federal income tax in order to be making a deduction. If you pay little or no income tax, and still have the property tax, like for older folks who are retired ..... that's very too danged bad for you.

There's probably older folks who use their social security payment to help pay their NH property tax which would not be the case with a NH sales or income tax? Of course, one can always get a paying job, a job, a job, a job ...... a what ...... yes, the problem with getting a job is that you actually have to show up on time, and then do something called work? ...
