If we include the District of Columbia as a state, the 10 states with the highest income tax rates in the nation for the 2025 tax year are:

California – 13.3% for single filers with taxable income over $1 million, or joint filers with more than $1,485,906 of taxable income (this rate includes a 1% surcharge to help pay for behavioral health services).
Hawaii – 11% for single filers with taxable income over $325,000, or joint filers with more than $650,000 of taxable income.
New York – 10.9% on taxable income over $25 million.
New Jersey – 10.75% on taxable income over $1 million.
District of Columbia – 10.75% on income over $1 million.
Oregon – 9.9% for single filers with taxable income over $125,000, or joint filers with more than $250,000 of taxable income.
Minnesota – 9.85% for single filers with taxable income over $198,630, or joint filers with more than $330,410 of taxable income.
Massachusetts – 9% on taxable income over $1,083,150 (this rate includes a 5% flat rate and a 4% surcharge on high-income taxpayers, but the state separately taxes short-term capital gains at a 8.5% rate and long-term capital gains on collectibles at a 12% rate).
Aka which have the best educational outcomes, state funded infrastructure, social programs, standard of living?

What? :lol: Most of these things are tracked and quantified. Or based on spending. Or common sense - drive across the state line here into North Idaho and the road conditions are quite obvious.

I know you’re not the most tech savvy cat so start here.

1). They’re not
2). The user has an obligation to not apply confirmation bias.

So if you’re anti-search engine and anti-education, where do you get your information from? What are your sources?

If you actually read any of what I’ve said on here, you would know that I am not anti-education at all

My basic theme is college ain’t for everybody and a lot of these “universities” are cashing in on worthless degrees

Trump pitches new retirement plan with a federal match of up to $1,000 per year
“Half of all of working Americans still do not have access to a retirement plan with matching contributions from an employer,” Trump said during his State of the Union address Tuesday. “To remedy this gross disparity, I’m announcing that next year my administration will give these often-forgotten American workers … access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker. We will match your contribution with up to $1,000 each year as we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market.”
Does the doofus not understand that people have access to what he's proposing minus the socialist government contribution?

Will employers drop their much more significant matching contributions so employees can qualify for socialist contributions? If yes, won't this be just another corporate handout that hurts regular people?

"Why is this is a story?" Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy posted on X. "Of course Mamdani’s wife celebrated the Oct 7th attack.  The Mamdani’s haven’t hid who they are at all. They are Terrorist sympathizing communists. They wear it loud and proud. Anybody who paid an ounce of attention knew that going in and he still won.   That’s the real problem.   Not that the terrorist lover is acting like a terrorist lover."

Mandami isn’t hiding who he is…. A sympathizer of those that celebrate the slaughter of Jews … let’s invite him over to dinner

https://nypost.com/2026/03/09/us-news/m ... r-ramadan/

“Khalil, for his part, sparked controversy late last year over his apparent justification of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terror attacks — describing the bloodshed as a “desperate” moment which Palestinians “had to reach” in order to have their voices heard.”

Why post that here? It has more to do with his ethnic and religious background than him being a socialist.

The surprising thing is I heard 62% of NY Jews (that voted) voted for Mandami. It’s like David Duke getting 62% of the black vote.

There are no conk major big city mayors, but if some conk gov’s or senator’s wife had a social media history over the last 10-15 years of celebrating the death of Jews, Muslim plane hijackers, derogatory remarks towards gays, the N word, etc it would be front page MSM news. But with the left it is A OK.
