My, my. Really researched this before you posted your usual nonsense, right, Rabid?

How higher taxes affect personal income
The Tax Foundation, a respected conservative-leaning group, has analyzed tax issues since 1937. They publish reports showing the average income and average tax load for all 50 states. Their analysis includes all state and local taxes.
I've charted this data (below) and added a green line to separate the states with high incomes from the rest. Aside from a few outliers, the trend is obvious: All but one of the states that enjoy higher incomes (greater than $50,000 per person) also impose higher total taxes (above 9 percent). At the same time, all but one of the states that keep taxes low (less than 9 percent) have lower incomes.
In picture form...
So, low taxes and low wages or high taxes and high wages...decisions, decisions.
North Carolina has one of the highest tax rates and one the the highest unemployment rate.
It's idiotic.
You need to look at things like growth over time. States with low tax show far greater growth over time than high tax states.
