“True, but then you don’t have a state income tax here!”
Here in WA we don’t tax food nor do we have a state income tax.
The Democrat government is trying to change our state constitution though so they can tax us.
Since the comparison was to California, that’s what I referenced. All states have different ways of raising the state revenues.
Some states charge higher property taxes than others.
Some charge higher sales taxes than others.
Some charge state income taxes where others do not.
Missouri charges personal property tax as well as state income tax.
Some do it all.
