Who Pays? 7th Edition

Who Pays? is the only distributional analysis of tax systems in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This comprehensive 7th edition of the report assesses the progressivity and regressivity of state tax systems by measuring effective state and local tax rates paid by all income groups.

could also go in horrible people really

  • Tax structures in 44 states exacerbate inequality. Most state and local tax systems worsen income inequality by making incomes more unequal after collecting state and local taxes.
  • Tax structures in six states and the District of Columbia reduce inequality. These half dozen states, plus D.C., narrow the gap between lower- and middle-income taxpayers and upper-income taxpayers, making the distribution of income more equal after collecting state and local taxes. Those states are California, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont.
  • In the 10 states with the most regressive tax structures, the lowest-income 20 percent pay three times as much of their income in taxes as the wealthiest 1 percent.In Florida, home to the nation’s most regressive tax system, low-income families pay almost five times as much as the wealthy. After Florida, the next most regressive tax codes can be found in Washington, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Illinois, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
There's a lot of super depressing info in that link but those three bits sum up a lot of it.

For those who don't know who Ian Miles Cheong is: oh boy. There's so much that could be said about him (ants!), but to keep it short: he's a far right wing figure who regularly posts hateful rhetoric, once had an column on Milo Yianoppolis' site called "Incel Corner", has become Elon Musk's biggest suck up and is always talking about how evil the left is-especially the American left. I mention the last part because in spite of that, he has not once stepped foot on American soil, as he lives in Malaysia. He's now facing possible sedition charges for supporting Israel, and it's ultimately impossible for feel any sympathy for him because the man is genuinely evil

Trump-Loving N.J. Politician Accused of ‘Stolen Valor’

Sussex County Commissioner William Hayden is facing a torrent of calls to resign after the local GOP accused him of lying about having been a Navy SEAL.

This is probably why Sgt. Slaughter stuck the wrestling convention circuit and never ran for office despite the endorsement of Richard Nixon, @tekcop and @BruiserBrody
