My State or Your State?

At first I was very excited to see which states have the most taxes, both collectively and per capita. But then I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be much more interesting to know how much taxes each state's income-earners pay, per dollar earned?"

After all, it's not a question of how much money they rake in, or how much taxes there are per capita if some are not working. As a taxpayer, I want to know where to move to. That's the more relevant figure.

Oh well, I guess this list is interesting anyway. States Ranked by Total Taxes and Per Capita Amount: 2005
