#1 Kansas at 16th, Iowa at 17th, and Nebraska at 25th should be fighting words for the people who live there. I have extensively traveled each of those states (in another life I was a Federal Bank Examiner) and I love the people there. But there is but for a few exceptions literally nothing going on there. Their tax money goes to line the pockets of those they elected, and their cronies.

#2 #s 19, 21, 22? Are you kidding me? You're among the poorest states in our nation? Where do you *think* that tax money is going?

#4 A list of 97 other taxes, that the Gov's grab.

A basic rule of Life, I was taught when I 1st started working.

If you have to pay a tax to have it, or use it.
Then you don't own it, you are either renting it from the Government.
Or, paying the Government for permission to eat it or use it.

#6 Doesn't Alaska tax North Slope crude oil? So everyone that burns gas or oil (or uses plastics) contributes to Alaska's low tax burden.

Good for them, but it distorts the list.

#7 They leave out compounding. The businesses that must pay their taxes add that cost to the final product expense before the state grabs another cut of the transaction. That's just the final pass on. They tax at the site of creation. They tax the transportation.

#8 Kansas at 16th

One of the things recently was a removal of State Sales Tax from groceries, which is fine, but if I understand, is everything edible including luxury goods such as soda pop, candy, pate, sushi, etc.
