        In New Hampshire we pay the federal income tax, but there is no state tax on income. In most other states you pay both a state and a federal income tax.

        Several states in the US have no state income tax:

        • Florida
        • Texas
        • Washington
        • Nevada
        • Wyoming
        • New Hampshire
        • Alaska
        • Tennessee

            The transportation infrastructure, yes. The local roads are maintained by the local cities and towns. The state highways are maintained by the state department of transportation. Funding comes from a combination of federal gas tax revenue and tolls on the major highways.

            Government spending is all about tradeoffs. I’m sure there are other programs that are well funded in other states that don’t even exist in New Hampshire.
