Look how it all changes, from northwest to southeast. It’s American
Now do health outcomes, education and environmental
then do the biggest slave states
you will see the pattern
BS maps.
CA is very regressive. Very low property taxes and ultra high sales taxes and income taxes.
Should all be dark red (no state income taxes)
Nobody has a right to your earned income
If you don’t have state income tax, it’s going to be more regressive. Sales tax is the ultimate regressive tax
I don’t trust this map, why is PA dark red when it has a proportional income tax system? it’s flat
regressive means higher tax rates for lower earners compared to higher earners. i also don’t see how all the tax-free states are most regressive, not having a tax isn’t regressive by definition
i have the feeling the map is based on subjective definitions, not economic ones, because those are pretty clear cut. would have been interesting to see an averaged tax growth rate by delta income to compare states
Wonder how all of this is calculated. I moved from the south to California a few years ago, and I was shocked at how many regressive taxes were put on me. Not saying it might all shake out in the end, but between >10% sales tax, $8 bridge tolls, and 61 cent per gallon gas tax, it feels really fucking expensive to be poor in California.
People pay all taxes. „Taxing corporations,“ who then pass on the costs, does not mean you avoided taxing the poor.
These are always bullshit. The state tax in California is very high, local taxes make it 10% in areas of the state where most live. Compare that to Florida or Texas where there is no income tax and lower sales tax. California is worse for all income levels, taxation wise
Not regressive means socialist.
Oregon is one of the most progressive…high income tax and no sales tax. What is the source for the map?
Without knowing who created this and their methodology it’s meaningless.
Strongly disagree with California.
We have a very progressive income tax, but high sales taxes (regressive) and significantly lower than average property taxes even with the second highest property values (behind Hawaii).
Our public transit is also alarmingly expensive and the costs of living far away from work (the thing poor people have to do in our wealthy cities) are also very high (high tolls, high fuel taxes).
We’re doing a lot right. But wholesale calling it progressively taxed is a bit odd.
Taxes should be flat and equal. No more of this “you make more and I’m bitter and want to tax you more bullshit”
New York state and Connecticut have very similar income tax rates and agreements between them regarding workers so what is the difference here?
Why are Texas and Florida so regressive?
What does ‚regressive‘ mean in this context?
The meaning of progressive tax seems to be understood; a higher percentage of the tax revenue coming from the more and more wealthy. They pay higher tax rates usually through income tax.
If we are to take the meaning of regressive tax as the opposite of this, wouldn’t that be lower and lower income being taxed at higher rates?
Wouldn’t a consumption based tax aka a flat tax like sales tax w/ no income tax effectively be somewhere in the middle? Even this would result in the wealthy paying more because they consume more.
NY my have what amounts to a progressive tax system but it is oppressively high to begin with so…
On the other hand, we’ve replaced over 50% of the bridges in the state in the last 20 years so that’s nice I guess.
/TX and FL taxes are actually quite brutal, unless you’re rich and rent.
Care to explain for a non-American?
No taxes on clothes in Minnesota!
It’s interesting that the two strongest economies, CA and TX are so diametrically opposed in tax policy (and other economic policies in general)
Taxation is theft. All of it
Illinois is on the most regressive end, I never would have guessed.
This is one of the most fascinatingly apolitical divides in the U.S.
I think a lot of Americans don’t realize just how different taxes can be from one State to another.
Ok, regressive needs to be explained in this context
Pennsylvania is correct. Unfortunately the state constitution prohibits a progressive income tax. The flat rate is regressive and then many municipalities charge wage tax (4% in Philadelphia)
