It looks like most, if not all, the states with no income tax are on their “bad” list, making them good choices.

Depends on what they’re doing to get money instead of a state income tax. They’re all getting their money somehow.

I left Seattle for rural KY. There is no income tax in Washington state but the sales tax is punitive. But when compared to the income tax in KY, I’ll take KY, and for another reason: My annual real estate taxes on 32 spectacular acres and a new home are almost identical to those for my friend in Washington for his single acre in a rural area (Maple Valley) PER MONTH.

Quote: According to “Who Pays? A Distributional Analysis of the Tax Systems in All 50 States,” a report released by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy

Everything you need to know is in that single piece of the "article".

Start with "...Distributional...", a catch phrase used so often by our "friends" on the left. Next look at the name of the organization providing this "report": the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. More leftist garbage.

"When looking at taxes paid as a share of the income earned..." Excuse me but taxes paid are not really a share of income earned like they wish. It is already established that the richest 5% pay over half the taxes collected but they represent the numbers as the poor (paying 0% taxes) and middle class paying the most.

So it is not surprising that those states with the better tax policies will be at the bottom of their list.
