WalletHub just released what I find to be a fascinating and well-analyzed study of state tax systems in the United States, evaluating each on many criteria that, combined, represent what a “fair” tax system might look like. (Local folks, FYI: Illinois scored near the bottom.)
With loads of great charts and graphs, this report is worth a read, if only to examine whether you agree or not with their evaluation of what makes a tax system “fair”. Interesting philosophical discussion that should be fascinating to many, not just us tax accountants.
