Daily Journal: Indexes unveil winners, losers under tax policy

We’re less familiar with a different ranking of state taxes by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. It ranks state tax systems based on their effects on the distribution of income. It doesn’t like Indiana very much. We’re 42nd on the 2015 list. According to the institute, in every state lower-income people pay a bigger share of their incomes to taxes than do higher income people. Indiana’s tax system does that more than most.
