Tax burden is how much of the total state income is generated by those state/local taxes on it's residents.
So it really doesn't tell the whole story should one like to consider the size and how efficiency of state income/spending, or how burdensome other revenue streams a state might create for additional funding. That other percentage has to come from somewhere. Kind of crazy to think how much we pay in taxes, that it hardly accounts for 10% of what the state takes in.
Just like when people over cook their vegetables and drain all the life out of them.
The obsession/brainwashing of destroying our food before we consume it.

Might better be labeled "state tax revenue source"
Implies someting totally different if it's about what's taken in vs taken away.

What the chart reflects is the percentage of personal income spent on these taxes. They aren't equal to the actual tax rates because we don't spend all of our income on things with sales tax, our property that is being taxed isn't likely to be the exact same as our income, and most income taxes are not flat taxes.
Refined sugar and syrup's that you find in soda and other shit drinks and food, are bad.
Don't be fooled into thinking because an apple or orange has a form of sugar in it, that it's bad for you.
An apple itself with the flesh intact is very healthy, however.
Income, property, sales, SIN....tax tax tax.
Government doesn’t care if your healthy. They tax things that are popular in demand to generate revenue. So they can feed their spending machines. Best way you can fight them is to not buy in high tax areas and dump money into your safe or savings account. Because they can’t touch it. And if the entire population would decide to do that. They would eliminate paper money and go full digital. It’s all about cash control, keeping their pockets stuffed while letting the rest of us think if we work really hard we will be successful one day like oprah—-and then we will love to pay taxes. Love it so much that we will hire people to lobby so the ultra rich don’t have to pay taxes. And then we tell the youngins that one day if they work really hard.....process repeats.
Marginalized people in project housing that use their food stamps to purchase food just got punched in the gut. They can’t afford to drive outta the city to get what they want. Instead they’re taxed $2.53 more on a case if soda—-which takes money away from them to allocate a “healthy alternative.” Does that make sense ?
There are many good people on food stamps in project housing that want out and these “sin” taxes just keep them down and dependent on their local governments.
They can’t afford to drive outta the city to get what they want. Instead they’re taxed $2.53 more on a case if soda—-which takes money away from them to allocate a “healthy alternative.” Does that make sense ?
How about this? They can do without. Or get a healthy alternative right where they are. They arent getting a healthy alternative anyway.
I havent drank a soda in probably 15 years at this point. Water is cheap at the tap.
And before you say tap water is garbage, L.A. water from a hose was found to have less bacteria than Evian.
And if there was a study tomorrow that came out and said soda is good for you. And I tried to make you drink it....you wouldn’t.
Same premise for people in chronic heart failure and why they’re readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. You can tell them how to live, provide them with the resources to live healthy....and guess what? They do whatever they want to do. And they’re back in the ED short of breath a week later. And because that happens Medicare/Medicaid won’t reimburse or pay for that admission to the hospital. (And we wonder why medical costs are high) governments answer is “ah they just need more education” well the hospitals educate....they have heart failure coordinators whose sole job is to educate people on how to NOT come back to the hospital. (Kinda like taxing soda that will get them to quit!!!—-sarcasm not) Yet...we see the same people in heart failure. Every 6-15 days back in the hospital. Nice people, just won’t take care of themselves. And we no matter how much the government tells the hospital to teach, no matter how much we teach it doesn’t matter. You can tax soda all you want. Doesn’t matter. It just generates revenue for politicians to spend.
So, you tax soda to punish people. They don’t care. theyre still gonna acquire it. and they’re still gonna consume it. You can’t force people or tax people into being healthy. Can’t be done.

There is only 1 good sugar: honey.
Your body sees All sugar the same, refined sugar, brown sugar, beet sugar and so forth.
The bad/worst sugar you can eat is: high fructose corn syrup, they said it messes up your insulin regulation, so never eat it.
That’s why some soda manufacturers like Dr. Pepper sell a “pure cane sugar” version of some products so you don’t have to drink high fructose corn syrup.
?
Your shopping cart is full of refined carbs, sugar, and salt via the cheapest boxed food you can get in the largest available at the cheapest price. You think the majority of people on welfare are eating free range chicken and farm to table vegetables each night? No.
Try living your life on ramen noodles, Mac n cheese, and imitation coco puffs. Lemme know how your waistline and overall health works out for you.
Right so If the marginalized are already stretched thin, why tax them more ? won’t help them on their quest (If that’s what they want to do—be healthy) to eat healthy when they have less money to do so.
