John Hood adds some comments to Sarah’s analysis of this topic.

“It’s one thing to make a philosophical argument against North Carolina’s existing tax system, or against reforms designed to help make that tax system more competitive with neighboring states and more consistent with policies promoting economic growth,” said JLF President John Hood. “It’s another thing to use deeply flawed analysis to prop up a discredited myth. The claim that North Carolina’s existing tax system is steeply regressive is just wrong.”
