It kind of makes Vermont seem pretty attractive. A bunch of villages where hippies and hillbillies can more or less live in peace.

So true about NM which seems to end up at or near the top of the bad lists and near the bottom on the good lists. That is why they also say "Thank God for Mississippi".

In Colorado one notices $5,000 bicycles on the back of $1,500 old beat up SUVs.

I knew this was right when I saw Maryland - If you can dream it we can tax it!! That's one reason why I am here!

Awesome funny! Thanks! Iowa is not far behind Maryland in the tax department, which is one reason we are here. They have an 8.5% income tax plus 6% sales tax.

If those 2 tax rates are correct. Then, they are 2 flat taxes, which encourages wealth disparity and discourages upward mobility and wealth generation through home buying. Bad for a middle class and good for elite, generational wealth. Florida is a slight improvement.

To clarify, the income tax is a graduated tax. I think you hit the top rate at around $75,000/yr.
