Without going into the details of Professor Murphy's research methodology, we note that Connecticut is at the top of the psychopathic pyramid in America. It is followed by the states of California, New Jersey, New York, Wyoming, Maine, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Illinois. Virginia closes the top ten most "psychopathic states," whose populations show personality characteristics of antisocial behavior.
It is easy to see that the five states from this top psycho-list also occupy a place in the top ten states with the largest tax burden in America.
Most importantly, eight of the ten most psychopathic states in the U.S. voted for Hillary Clinton.
At the bottom of the psychopathic pyramid of America is the state of West Virginia. It is followed by Vermont, Tennessee, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Montana, Mississippi, and Indiana. Oregon closes the top ten least psychopathic states. Only Vermont on this list belongs to the half of the states distinguished by high levels of taxation, and the remaining nine are well known for their low taxes.
