Where star scientists choose to locate: the impact...
The only way to compare high vs low taxes is government spending / GDP. Anything else is just comparing how things are taxed not how much people pay.

One should also compare effective tax rate on overall wealth. Comparing the top 1%, 5%, and 10% to the bottom 50% would be interesting. Low income tax states generally get a higher proportion of their revenue from regressive taxes and fees.
