		<description>Just remember, New York&#039;s taxes as a share of its residents&#039; personal income are the highest in the country, save (in some years) for Wyoming and Alaska where most of the taxes are on oil.

Any of those states in worse financial shape would be better off if their residents paid as much in taxes as New Yorkers.  And we are paying more and getting less and less in return.</description>
