Pretty strange. I tried googling some of the states, and they give four or five completions in descending order. Most of them are equally amusing.
Vermont is white, liberal, cold, healthy, and awesome. Oddly enough, if you google it again, you may get slightly different results. Like “Why is Vermont service center so slow?”

New Hampshire expensive? It's one of the least heavily taxed states in the nation...no income tax *or* sales tax.

Too bad these people don’t understand that Google’s autocomplete and search results are tailored for the person making the requests. This is often termed a filter bubble. http://dontbubble.us/

Just checked "taxfoudation.org" an excellent source of info on taxation in the US.According to them Massachusetts,in 2010,collected $1,986 per capita in property taxes,making it the 8th highest while NH collected $2,463 per capita,making it the 4th highest.Not a particularly big difference.Add in The Gay State's *other* taxes/fees/tolls,etc and NH looks pretty damn good.
But NH appears to be trending Maoist (you can't take in all the refugees from Communist states and remain unaffected) so it seems likely to me that they'll have an income and/or sales tax sooner rather than later.
