Yes, it's such a favored status to pay more than ten percent of your income to state taxes. People are literally stomping over each other to move to places where their state taxes are the highest, not wanting others to get there first and pay more taxes than they do. These people are clearly, incredibly privileged to have the honor to pay such high state taxes. What favoritism. In the meantime people in states with no taxes are furious. "Why don't we get to pay high taxes?" they cry. We are not favored. The money in their bank accounts is filling up their accounts and they're worried they might not get FDIC protections on all the vast sums of money they accumulated by not being favored by the law. "Such favoritism," they scream. Certainly, the only solution is to make those favored even more favored by raising their taxes even more. Somehow this, in the mind of the unfavored, those poor souls not allowed to pay state taxes, might magically fix things. Clearly no-one has thought anything out really. What favoritism indeed ...
- leereeves 9y agoIf I interpret your sarcasm correctly, you're saying they're being punished by high state taxes? Place the blame for that where it belongs, on the state government. But if the people of a state choose to pay higher state taxes, that doesn't entitle them to pay lower federal taxes.
