Summary
Nine states cutting income taxes on January 1, 2025: Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
Most reductions occur in Republican-led states, with changes like flat tax rates in Iowa (3.8%) and Louisiana (3%).
Democrat-led New Mexico targets middle- and low-income taxpayers.
Proponents argue these cuts enhance economic competitiveness, while critics warn of potential public service impacts.
Several states plan further reductions in coming years.
The lack of public education is what makes “opportunities” like a felon making it into the White House or any of the other batshit insane going-ons possible, and those that benefit would have it no other way.
