Well, Governor Hogan may be a RINO at the national level, but he sure kept the DemocRATS in check with not allowing them to raise Maryland state taxes. With a new leftist DemocRAT assuming the governorship in January, it’s going to be Katie Bar the Door in Maryland with them being in ABSOLUTE power. Maryland will be climbing these unfriendly steps up that list.

7. Maryland

No wonder southern Pennsylvania is overrun by Maryland taxiles!

Surprisingly, two of the states, Kansas and Nebraska, are Republican dominated. Iowa and Wisconsin are purple states. Also, the West Coast states, Massachusetts, and Hawaii are not listed despite being essentially one party Democrat run states.

I have some doubts about the order. I agree that Illinois is pretty bad. I lived there. But New Jersey, New York and California should be 1-2-3, and California isn't even on their list.

Also, I suspect that taxpayers in Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and Nebraska get more state services for their tax dollars than taxpayers in the other states.

I’m shocked to not see CA on the list. Prop 13 must offset very high income and sales taxes.

Iowa is on this list but not Taxachusetts, home of Fauxcahauntaus?
