The 50 most respectful city-friendly cities in America
These cities will keep more money in your pockets.
Let's be honest: Nobodyreally likes to pay taxes. Of course, it is satisfying to know that you are helping fund great things like roads and schools, but it still hurts knowing that some of your hard-earned wages evaporate just before seeing it. (Hey, you're only human.)
It only aggravates the pain of knowing that so many people are paying much less tax than you do and just because they live in tax-efficient locations. We know because we have collected tax data on the 200 largest cities in the United States to help identify those who are easiest on your wallet.
Cities in Texas state non-tax expenses on income and retains most of its other low taxes had an advantage, but there are many other major cities that make a pretty impressive demonstration. So read on and see if your hometown made the list. And for more great rankings in the city, check out this collection of50 Hardest Working Towns in America.
OUR METHOD:We analyzed the tax data from the Tax Foundation, the Census of the United States and individual State government websites of the city, including the state and local tax revenue, sales tax and as property tax and other taxes, such as alcohol, tobacco and fuel taxes.
