The Oklahoman: Debate over proposed Oklahoma tax increase should center on policy

“In response, the Oklahoma Policy Institute commissioned an analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. That report found that under a 1-cent sales tax increase, people in the lowest quintile (those with an average household income of $12,700 per year) would pay an additional $90 annually. Oklahomans in the top 1 percent (those with average yearly income of $1.6 million) would pay an additional $1,691 in sales taxes.”
