Kansans who make the least often pay more of their income on taxes.
The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy says anyone who make less than $20,000 a year pays about 11% of their income on taxes. The percentage drops a bit for those making up to $94,000.
Those who make the most, around $440,000 each year, pay less than 4% of their income on taxes.
