The world is more straightforward than you think. (Unless you're one of THOSE people, of course, in which case it is more complicated.)

why oh why oh ming?
You know the guys who are always saying they are going to leave the country because of the horrible taxes? I think they should move to Wyoming. Why? Well, apart from the fact it is America's tenth biggest and least populous state, whose capital and biggest 'city' Cheyenne has a population of 60,000, the tax regime is:
- no state income tax, either for individuals or corporations, and no tax on post-retirement income coming in from another state.
- 4% sales tax
- no inheritance tax
Apparently, it has the most 'business friendly' tax system of any of the united states. Woo hoo.
One thing I have noticed: New York might have a crappy tax system for bankers (New York's taxes have to pay for loads of stuff) but all the bankers are still in New York.

Got to be good if you're paying 60% tax eh? Or maybe like some banks, you can live in New York and not pay tax.
