The Tax Foundation shows where the data and estimates come from and revise based on previous estimates.
I tried to check for a tax burden ranking on Center on Budget and Policy Priorities but they haven't done one for 10 years.
The Tax Foundation is bi-partisan and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is liberal leaning as are the only other blogs I see saying anything like this.
Oh, gotcha!! So if I spend a few days in the WORST part of Houston, I can judge the whole state of Texas by that experience? You've got a deal!
Do what you want. I've got an opinion and you got one. It isn't that serious. By the way I'm not from Houston but I stay here b/c of the job market just like many transplants from NJ.....
You judge a state of 8.7 million people and among the wealthiest in the nation by a city of 80,000, like Florida it self is not full of ghettos.
That seems to be common when talking about New Jersey. People like to bash it by bringing up its worst ghetto cities while ignoring the rest of the state.
New Jersey is one of the best states in my book. It has great historic towns that are pedestrian friendly, nice beaches, mountains, a state-wide transit system, and proximity to Philly and New York. The downfall is the cost of living and high taxes.
Florida does not do much for me, at least as a place to live. Too much sprawl, unremarkable cities, flat lands, and summers that are way too hot. Miami Beach, the Keys, and St. Augustine are really cool places though, and it's a nice place for a beach vacation in the winter if you're looking to get a break from the cold.
