media mention
“Current state and local tax systems are, on average, “extremely unfair,” according to the report. While most Americans of all political persuasions think a progressive tax system is most fair, virtually every state has regressive state and local tax structures.
Besides survey data, other sources used to create the rankings were obtained from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy and the U.S. Census Bureau.”
