WyoTraveler, why do you pay more taxes in Wyoming than you would in California/ The sales tax here is 4% compared to Ca. 7-8%, no income taxes and still fairly low fuel taxes. Property tax is a little high, but nothing like Texas.And, us Wyoming folk don't pay, directly, most of the taxes that fuel our government
, the energy industry and tourists do that, kinda. Most studies show that people from out of Wyoming pay up to 35% of all sales taxes collected in the state.
YUP! But it is not just the tourists/energy that pay your bills. Wyoming is subsidized by the taxpayers from other states.
That's right all of US pay for Wyoming!
So many people really are not aware that, "WE", all the other states with higher, denser population SUBSIDIZE the other states. Based on shear numbers factors.
The more rural a state is the less population per area which equates to not enough people to pay taxes to keep that state afloat......so the rest of us pay for it.
I'd move to Wyoming in a heartbeat it so beautiful but that would put me right back into snowbird mode to get the heck out when the temps started dropping and the snow started to fly! :B
