With no sale tax those with high incomes and no income tax have it made. A $10 sales tax hurts low income people making say 6000 a year. But what is it to those making 50,000 or 100, 000 a
year. So you think if every poor person ‘puts their nose to the grind stone’ they too can make that kind of money. Ha!

britt426 asked:


I’ve never really thought of it because I’ve always lived in the state I worked in. I know someone looking to move to Portland,OR (where they have a huge income tax but no sales tax). Vancouver, WA is only a 15 minute drive away, so she’s thinking of moving there (where there is no income tax and a huge sales tax). Will she pay income tax to Oregon because she’ll work there or will she be spared because she’ll live in Washington?
