Blue collar worker in non-income tax state that doesn't own property and has 2-3 kids is probably going to be around 12-15% overall. That's a pretty small subset of the country, 2-3 states or so. If you use the same book of tricks (i.e. ignore a myriad of local taxes and taxes collected on goods sold) that people around here typically use when trying to make certain high tax states look not too out of line with the national average then huge swaths of the south and midwest would be included.

They also conveniently leave out items such as the average cost of electricity or gas prices.
- jandrewrogers 5y agoThere are 8-9 states without income tax, not 2-3.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoSome of those have other taxes that are high to make up for it hence why I said the number where the all things considered tax burden is down at 12ish percent is probably low single digits.
