You're in DC right? I mean DC gets to levy a much higher income tax than KC does, because its not overlapping with another state jurisdiction. And its a much, much smaller geographical area. Its kinda apples to oranges.

But yea, its kinda sickening how much lawmakers in Jeff City and Topeka are cutting state income taxes and putting more and more of the burden on sales taxes. Completely regressive and perverse.

Well, all the counties around DC and Baltimore have earnings tax of 2-4% so that helps offset the low sales taxes. This is a high tax area, I won't deny that. But it does seem like tax collection is more fairly dispersed among residents and businesses.
