Free State Project Corner: New Hampshire Was Ranked The Smartest State in the United States
Funny how the smartest folks are concentrated in the freest state with the lowest taxes
Free State Project Corner is a recurring column in Five Meme Friday where we cover the progress of the Free State Project in New Hampshire. The Free State Project is a mass migration of libertarians, voluntaryists and anarcho-capitalists to a single state, New Hampshire, with the intent to roll back “government,” maximize individual liberty and engineer a peaceful and orderly secession for the organized crime federal “government” in Washington DC.

DEDHAM, Mass. — New England is home to three of the top 10 “smartest states” in America, according to a new study.
