Politifact: Nan Rich Makes Claims about State’s Economy, Taxes

In response to questions, Rich said Florida’s tax structure was too regressive.

Rich cited a 2013 report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, which partners with Citizens for Tax Justice, a group that advocates for middle- and low-income families.

The report concluded that all states have regressive tax systems. It means that state taxes come more from the poor and middle class than from the rich.

We rate Rich’s statement Mostly True.
