Tax burdens by State

Who Pays: A Distributional Analysis of the Tax Systems in All 50 States (the sixth edition of the report) is the only distributional analysis of tax systems in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This comprehensive report assesses tax fairness by measuring effective state and local tax rates paid by all income groups.[1] No two state tax systems are the same; this report provides detailed analyses of the features of every state tax code. It includes state-by-state profiles that provide baseline data to help lawmakers and the public understand how current tax policies affect taxpayers at all income levels.

The white family verse black family statistic is wrong, in fact all these income statistics that classify jewish people as white are now wrong. By their own admission (ask whoopi goldberg and ari emanuel) Jewish people do not consider themselves white anymore in fact they classify themselves as victims of white racism. So their incomes have to now be seperated from whites in these studies that try to inflate white/black income disparities to increase racial tensions.

From taxes to racism in record time.

I thought it was interesting to see how different states with different taxing structures compare to each other in terms of tax burden for different income levels. YMMV.

RACE MATTERS​

The nation’s longstanding system of unequal opportunities to access education, housing, jobs and capital, and other economic resources has resulted in a stark wealth gap between white families and most communities of color. Median wealth among black families is 10 times less than median wealth among white families. On average, black families earn $28,000 less in income every year than white families and Latino families earn nearly $18,000 less per year than their white counterparts.

The distributional impact of state and local tax systems based on income also have clear implications for wealth inequality among racial groups. State tax codes that worsen income inequality by taxing lower-income people at higher rates than wealthy people, taxing income derived from wealth (e.g. capital gains) at a lower rate than income derived from work, or relying heavily on consumption taxes, are worsening the racial wealth divide. The income and wealth gap between white families and communities of color will not be eliminated by making state tax systems fairer, but at the very least policymakers and the public should consider how tax policies are contributing to this persistent social problem.

The rest is promoting socialism. ”Equality/Equity” over merit or ”meritocracy.”

It feels like the ITEP would support a progressive price system where the "poor" would pay less for food, gas, airline tickets, new sneakers, etc.
Because earners are bad.
