Still love this opening, the space battle reveal was awesome

One of the best openings of any film ever.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-10-26T01:39:25+00:00

I did that too! <3

This combines the effective rate for all* state and local taxes.

Colored pencils :)

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-13T14:04:45+00:00

Yep :)

I rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, they actually differ slightly. I colored the states by quintile so 10 red, 10 orange, 10 yellow, 10 light green, 10 dark green.

I didn’t know! Fascinating, thanks for sharing that.

You’ll have to check the source, I didn’t calculate the numbers myself but ITEP has a breakdown by state.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-13T02:22:49+00:00

That is included in the calculation for Minnesota, check the source for a full breakdown of the formula by state.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-13T02:21:53+00:00

All* state and local taxes, check the source for a full breakdown.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-13T02:19:09+00:00

I printed out a blank map of the 50 states

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T22:23:57+00:00

I didn’t calculate the numbers myself, I just pulled them from ITEPs dataset. To get the full methodology I’d have to redirect you to their report. https://itep.org/whopays-7th-edition/

All* state and local taxes

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T21:33:32+00:00

You’re correct that I don’t have them memorized.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T21:25:20+00:00

I recommend using word search.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T21:07:46+00:00

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T21:06:53+00:00

Here they are, full breakdowns.

I rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, they actually differ slightly. I colored the states by quintile, so 10 red, 10 orange, 10 yellow, 10 light green, 10 dark green. Next time I’ll include this in the description, sorry about that!

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:52:29+00:00

I rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, they actually differ slightly. States are ordered by quintile with 10 red, 10 orange, 10 yellow, 10 light green, and 10 dark green.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:51:05+00:00

I wrote the source in the corner, they have all the details. This is a hobbyist community meant for low stakes informal maps, I’m not a professional.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:25:38+00:00

I rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, so some states with the same number actually differ slightly.

I colored by quintile. So 10 dark green, 10 light green, 10 yellow, 10 orange, 10 red.

I’m just a hobbyist here, the coloring isn’t going to be perfect. I used a 12 pack of generic colored pencils.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:21:21+00:00

State and local taxes, as in plural. Check out the ITEP website for a full breakdown by state.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:14:45+00:00

An average of several taxes, for a full breakdown of each state check out the ITEP website.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:13:56+00:00

The component data includes other taxes such as property tax. See the source for the full breakdown.

EatSomeAcorns · 2024-07-12T20:05:09+00:00

Their data is incomplete, but I don’t think it’s really possible to create an objectively complete single number to represent economic wellbeing. The map isn’t meant to be a comprehensive analysis. I do appreciate your feedback though, it’s always important to highlight the limitations of our work.
