Taxes eh?

Unemployment rate by state (including DC):

TOTAL TAXES PAID BY STATE

LOWEST 5 UNEMPLOYMENT (TAX RANK):

1 SOUTH DAKOTA 3.2 (44th)
2 WYOMING 3.3 (42nd)
3 NEBRASKA 3.5 (9th)
3 UTAH 3.5 (27th)
5 NORTH DAKOTA 3.6 (39th)


HIGHEST 5 UNEMPLOYMENT (TAX RANK):

46 SOUTH CAROLINA 7.3 (26th)
48 CALIFORNIA 7.7 (12th)
49 MISSISSIPPI 7.8 (29th)
50 MICHIGAN 8.7 (14th)
51 RHODE ISLAND 8.8 (4th)

I'm no scientician or nuthin...but the top 5 lowest unemployment rate states have an average of 32.2 as far as tax rank. The bottom 5 have an average rank of 17.

For the Obamatrons out there it means this: places with high taxes tend to have higher unemployment. Places with low taxes tend to have lower taxes.

Obama (Peace Be Upon Him) has pledged to raise taxes. Guess what that means?
