Telecommuting from a high-tax state? Beware your wallet
If Congress would do its job, Texas wouldn’t have had to join this lawsuit
A view of the Sam Rayburn Tollway (State Highway 121) looking west from McKinney toward Plano and Frisco shows heavy traffic on a Friday evening. During the pandemic, fewer workers are commuting, which has led to a dispute between low-tax and high-tax states.
High-tax states have a perpetual problem. People persistently prefer to send as little of their money to the government as possible. In the age of pandemic and the consequent rise in telecommuting, this problem is becoming ever more aggravated.
