When I was a lad, I honestly assumed that the top leadership in government must be comprised of the most intelligent, accomplished, well-spoken, and wise men in our nation.

Here is a map showing the change in state income taxes over the past quarter century. A handful of states have 0% income tax, which I find enviable. Here in California, we pay up to 13.3% (!!!!!) tax, and keep in mind, that is NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE thanks to the blue-state-hating tax act of 2017. We pay high taxes, yes, but at least we get a high speed rail project that’ll never see the light of day.
