Methodology and lots of charts and graphs at link.

[Tell It Right]

My first thoughts looking at the list are that the states with the poorest people tend to be the states with the most people who don’t like “acting white”. No shocker, then, that these are the poorest.

I would suspect California would be near the top of that list - what with some of the highest taxes in the nation - state taxes, gas taxes - along with onerous regulations that stifle businesses.

“California has the highest state income tax, with a rate of up to 13.3%....The state’s sales tax was the highest in the nation in 2021 at 7.25%....California pumps out the highest state gas tax rate of 77.9 cents per gallon.”

People in red states are in trouble. That is the message.

[Texas Fossil]

Texas listed #3 (3rd from highest)

Does not pass the smell test.

[Texas resident]

Texas has all kinds of problems from financial distress, low testing scores in schools, overcrowding in emergency rooms and organized crimes. Gee Wally, what is the common denominator?

Illegals.
