Why some states are tax free and others states taxes makes it imposible for people to live in?

Question

why we have tax free states and states that have a very high tax system that makes citizens almost imposible to survive in those states, for example Maryland that they tax you every time you take a breath?

Answer 1

Because states are allowed to govern their own affairs, at least that far.   Should be further, but the current reading of the Constitution is revisionist to the point of insanity.

Answer 2

The 1st answer claims wealthier states are taxed at a higher rate. That's not true. It's the opposite. NY has the 2nd highest poverty rate (Highest taxes), and every study shows when taxes are raised poverty increases.

Answer 3

Many states have an income tax, and there are some states like Nevada that have no personal income tax, but they do have a lot of fees, which are really taxes.

Answer 4

Maryland does not tax you every time that you take a breath. I don't know what kind of c**p you're speaking about, but whatever it is, it's not true.

The wealthier states are taxed higher.

The poorer states are taxed lower.

Answer 5

Not sure about Maryland but come to the state of New York we get taxed on everything you can think of. NY state SUCKS.!
