The reporter also doesnt tell you that residents of those states pay more to the federal government than they receive from the federal government. F the South.
Eliminate all taxes on corporations and taxpayers. Go to a national sales tax that is revenue neutral compared to our present insane tax system. Business will flourish, workers will get more wages, and the property on K street will be a bargain.
ps
Corporations do not pay taxes. If it cost them one dollar to make something and the tax on them is 25% the base cost of their product becomes $1.25. They do not eat the tax. You the consumer eats the tax when you buy it.
Just think about it. The next time you buy a car you can see the sales tax and state tax etc. You do not see the federal corporate tax on the sticker as it is already incorporated into the cost of production. It is a few thousand dollars but you can not see it.
