Ten worst states for taxes

The Fiscal Times identifies them here.  No surprise, California and New York at terrible (New York State is the worst in the nation when it comes to taxes), but there are some surprise states in the mix as well, like North Carolina and Iowa. Also a surprise, deep blue Washington State (only half-jokingly nicknamed "The Soviet of Washington") isn't on the list. Although our current governor, reliably leftist Jay Inslee, is signaling that he would like to remedy that oversight.

No surprise that my "alma mater" Minnesota is on the list.

You need to think about scooting across the state line to relative sanity.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Yes, most of the states on the list weren't a shock...

Maybe someday we'll relocate to Idaho -- I'd have to see about licensing and the rest if we did. Idaho is my second favorite state!
