      We tried to change it in Illinois, but the people who are going to be 1% earners any day now weren’t having it.

      Most states get the majority of their revenue from income taxes or property taxes. There seems to be a preference in this map for states with high income taxes and low property taxes.

      This wholly depends upon which taxes they are referring to. If they are including property taxes, than these are inherently always going to be more regressive than income taxes. As such, any state with low or without state income taxes is going to appear to be more regressive. You can combat this by having high income taxes. See California.

      Surprised Florida is #1. Doesn’t tax groceries, numerous tax holidays (school and storm supplies), and no income tax.

      This doesn’t seem at all accurate… or it’s based off some very skewed obscure metrics

      Kinda funny to see Florida #1 and Washington #2, meanwhile Tx #7 and NY at #48 and Ca at #47.

      Regressive meaning “low taxes” means best tax system. The least amount of government theft

      PA has a flat income tax rate of 3.07%. There are some deductions for low income taxpayers, but the flat rate is probably why it is considered regressive.

      PA also has a sales tax, but exempts groceries and clothing from the tax.

      I wonder how this accounts for many states having their income tax but no local, or only a few towns, vs. Ohio’s having local taxes all over.

      Looks like no gasoline taxes, which like it or not are a necessity in most places.

      Anyone that says California is not regressive is seriously low IQ. They have one of the highest sales taxes in the country. The tax structure for the poor is more punitive in California than it is in Florida which has no income tax.

      Ohio has low state taxes but it also has local income taxes that are not trivial.

      Can some explain, for this dummy at least, what regressive means in this context?

      This couldn’t possibly take into account the California property tax system.

      Equality before taxes sure does sound bad when you also have to foot the bill apparently
