Help Wanted: Citizen Journalists Needed

| | Comments ()
Have you ever wanted to compare tax burdens on property, commodities, income or anything of various states?

The Show-Me Institute, a research and educational institute dedicated to producing well-researched solutions to state and local policy issues, released a powerful, free tool to research tax burdens across the United States. 

Dr. Arthur Laffer (think author of the "Laffer curve," which illustrates tax elasticity and how in certain situations, a decrease in tax rates could result in an increase in tax revenues) and the Show-Me Institute teamed up to empower regular people to compare tax burdens by using an online tax comparison database called IDEAS.
 
Go to ShowMeIDEAS.org to compare tax burdens on property, commodities, income or anything else--for free!
 
“This isn’t like the data professional researchers and economists use to determine what the  facts are, it is the data they use,” said Jenifer Roland, the Show-Me Institute’s director of publications, pointing out the significance of making such a powerful research tool available to the public.
 
The 50-state ranking tool allows you to customize your comparison, based on the category being taxed or year (starting from 1977). In other words, compare taxes based on location, type, or time.
