I don't think I would choose or not choose a state based on that info. CA for example has a high income tax rate but it is scaled. Lower income people pay a lot less. If you lived in CA when you retired & taking advantage of prop 13. In fact income tax in MT is higher because they nail their lower income at a higher rate. However, CA will wear you down on smog checks, especially as a vehicle gets older. I moved to WY because of population not taxes. Car insurance is cheaper in WY. Fire insurance in stick houses is very high because it is rural. Overall I pay more taxes in WY than CA but very few people & low crime rate. I think the bean counters just grab some basic statistics & come up with things that don't really mean much. JMHO
