Re: . 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
