I lived in WA and NV and didn't notice either of these. I miss not having to deal with state taxes not to mention the 10% of my income that goes away to who knows what.
- galleywest200 1y agoNo but everything in WA costing 10% more than the sticker price is a pain in the butt, especially if you are a lower income individual.
- s0rce 1y agoI'm Canadian so I guess I was used to this and its now worse in California with state income tax as well!
- dragonwriter 1y agoIf you are high income, of course you don't notice differences in levels of regressive taxes on consumption (including real property taxes, which, while not nominally this, for most people end up as a—direct for homeowners and indirect for renters—consumption tax on housing) as you do levels of progressive taxes on income (which is why frequently the income-tax-heavy states with higher average tax burdens also have lower tax burdens at equivalent income levels for median and lower incomes.)
