[edit] Rename

Can we rename this to United States state tax levels please? Other states (Poland, Andhra Pradesh) also have tax levels that we might otherwise want to include here. 199.71.183.2 20:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. Done.EECavazos 21:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy of figures

According to the US Census Bureau page [States Ranked by Total Taxes and Per Capita Amount: 2004 (Amounts are in thousands. Per capita amounts are in dollars. Revised March 2006)

]

http://www.census.gov/govs/statetax/04staxrank.html... they are way off. Where did these figures come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.45.205 (talk) 04:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article, but

This is a good article, but it needs to address the issue of property tax as well. Some states may have higher taxes from sales and income, but lower taxes from property. For example, does the average homeowner in New Jersey really pay less overall in taxes than a Delaware resident. This gets difficult to calculate because property taxes are assessed at the county and/or municipal level. I'm not sure how to approach this. Suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.230.141.72 (talk) 21:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Not sure where to get the data but it is a good point. I believe Florida was seriously considering the removal of property taxes and putting it into their sales tax. Morphh ^(talk) 23:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
