> I live in Massachusetts and we have a substantially lower overall tax burden Not according to https://taxfoundation.org/state-local-tax-collections-per-capita-2019/ https://taxfoundation.org/state-local-tax-collections-per-ca... (state+local per capita) or https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/state-collections-per-capita/ https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/state-collections-... (state only per capita). This table has a breakdown of state revenues: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/stc/tables/2019/FY2019-STC-Detailed-Table.xlsx https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/stc/tables/2019/FY2... I don't see any significant revenue sources, relative to sales or income taxes, that might offset the burden per individual. And in California corporate taxes make up 14% of state revenue, but only 10% in Massachusetts.
