Moose | Shouldnt taxes in every state be the same? |
Some may say it is, but let me explain, Here in Ohio, in certain counties I pay 7 % on a dollar, in other places I pay 8%. Whe I go to other states( Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida), I pay between 3 to 6 %, Why is this, and does anybody else have this?
Additional Details
Yes I'm dealing with it, along with others in this state. But I still thinks its unfair. Just like the gas prices. Who is the one to say gas at B.P. would be 3.25 a gallon when EXXON is 2.89 ( across the street) Its all the same gasoline |

Your question has a number of issues, none of which are related to the other.
In the first one, these are not income taxes but sales taxes. Each jurisdiction can charge whatever it's elected officials pass. Usually that is based on the cost of living in that area. One county may require more services than its neighbor, so has to raise more money.
Second, gas prices etc are a matter of supply and demand. They will charge whatever people are willing to pay. You don't pay the same price for bread or milk at each and every grocery store. It's called economics.
Finally, if a jurisdiction doesn't have a sales tax, it has an income tax, or vice versa. Most states have both. Most states will also put heavy taxes on hotels etc, since in most cases, you are taxing people from other areas who won't be voting in their local elections. |

There are generally three types of taxes that states impose:
Property, sales, income.
For most states, it's Pick Two.
Ex.: Louisiana - very high sales tax, moderately high income tax, but almost no property tax.
And in NY, they hit you with all three, plus a NYC income tax.
For states with no income tax: TN, NV, FL, TX, AK, and there may be 2 or 3 others.
As to why it's different: Each state has the right to handle its own business. |

The different state taxes put competition on the state governments to lower taxes or raise service level to be an attractive place to live and work. Therefore, it's probably a good thing. That being said, of course it is frustrating that some states are much better to manage the funds than others. |

Each state determines the amount of applicable sales tax. Some states do not have income tax. As you noted, it varies by state. Deal with it. |

Ideally Yes buty practically no!
Every state in fedral union has its own constraints,resources, people, goverments, policies, ideaologies and therefore varied taxes. |

No... every state should handle their OWN affairs.
Each location has it's own set of CHALLENGES or not...
Problems or not.
Why should my taxes pay for LEVEE restoration when... I chose NOT to live in a flood zone?
Why should my taxes pay for crime prevention programs in CHICAGO?
Why should I pay for a suspension bridge when I live in a LAND LOCKED state?
This way... you takes your choice and PAY your MONEY. |

This is another example why the Fair tax Initiative is so important. Our lives, our economy, and our government would be simpler and more effective by eliminating state and federal income tax and moving to a consumption only form of taxation.

Yes, it's stupid. I figure if they just took half my paycheck, my taxes would be paid in full...that's usually what I lose eventually anyway. |
