If I ever get to the point where I'm making more than $2400/year in interest and dividends, I don't think I'll complain too much about paying tax on the excess.
How about if you make more than $75,000 as a freelancer on 1099-misc basis or have a sole propietorship or LLC as opposed to having $75,000 reported on a W-2? You can be doing the exact same work, you pay the Feds for social security and medicare at a rate of about 15 % when you file with the IRS, plus you pay your health insurance out of pocket since you don't get employee benefits. But NH requires a return in the first case but not in the second. Smells like an income tax to me.
Wow. I moved from MA to NH in 1995. The taxes situation is a stark contrast. Everyone talks about the "high" NH property taxes... The rate is high but the valuations are lower. Move my house to a similar town in MA and the valuation would be much higher, the tax rate lower, but the actual dollars paid about the same... Meanwhile, no state income tax, no capital gains tax, no sales tax... car insurance is much lower.... yeah, I'll move back to MA when hell freezes over...

You are quite correct. When I recently considered moving back to NH I was shocked to learn that my overall tax burden would be slightly higher there than where I was living in CA. As an S-Corp owner, NH does not recognize the pass-through nature of an S-Corp and would tax my business income. It's one of the only, if not the only state to do so.

There are at least 5 other states that tax S-corps. Not that I'm in favor of such a tax....I'm not.
