As you plainly prefer to remain where you are, I shall leave you to your various misunderstandings. Rest assured, however, that there is no actual debate of the matter. All serious people recognize that while federal income tax is progressive, most other federal taxes and virtually all state and local taxes are regressive. They are paid disproportionately by lower income people.

If you could even name the misunderstanding......oh the taxes. It's just known. The man is keeping us down. Oh, that's stupid. You are all dumb. Never giving the right answer, merely attacking the fringe of everyone else. A parasitic existence....occasionally funny, but hollow overall.

Come on dude. Even you can come up with something right? You fervently believe in a summary....what makes it up? Why can't you contribute substance? The critic can't create? Cat got your tongue? Stutter much?

Or maybe you can't own up to when you're wrong, which you are.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Do you really believe this, or are you just making stuff up?

state income taxes are progressive in most states .other taxes like sales taxes ,real estate taxes are more regressive since they are the same regardless of income .so lower incomes pay a higher percentage .

Hahaha! I simply rely on fact and reason. That's always been a good combination for me.

Among states that have an income tax, a handful are actually progressive, while most end up being regressive due to using flattened rate schedules. These leave little or no difference between the effective rates on top and median levels of income. That's regressive all day long.

Lack of knowing is a clear and persistent problem among a range of posters here. Others have plainly been a good deal more diligent over the years.

Congrats to New York for being one among the handful of states with progressive income taxes. They don't check in as well though on across the board tallies.
