Re: . said by alanhdsl:Despite having some of the highest taxes in the country, California's population is expected to increase by 12.5 million by 2030. If it's so terrible, why does everyone want to move there? Adjusted for general population growth of this country, and for illegal immigration, what does that number look like? The weather is probably a big factor, but you can probably find other states expecting more growth. | |

Phoenix, AZ | #1 in percentage growth is Nevada, they rank #39 overall in state taxes. Although they don't have an income tax, they have high sales and property taxes, along with business taxes (gambling).
Alaska has the lowest personal state taxes, but they take in a lot in business (oil) taxes. Next lowest taxes are Mississippi, Montana, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
On the other hand, biggest growth is in Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Utah, Idaho, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, and Oregon.

Montana has its charm, but all said I'd rather live in California or New York (#1 and #2 in taxes). | |

Waltham, MA | said by alanhdsl:Alaska has the lowest personal state taxes, but they take in a lot in business (oil) taxes. Next lowest taxes are Mississippi, Montana, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and South Dakota. That list reads like a who's who of dirt poor states. I'd like to see far less of my FEDERAL taxes going to support these places, that on the whole take far more back than they give. MS takes 2.80 from Washington for every 1.00 it collects. Here in MA we get back .60 for every dollar. The rest goes to support those places that dont raise enough local tax to pay for essentials. We'd be better off seceding
