but that is only marginally true at best.

Business is growing in Utah because of the people that are here. OTOH, there's a reason there isn't a single Fortune 500 company HQ'd in Utah (even Idaho has multiple Fortune 500 companies).

Forgive my ignorance but a cursory view of this image suggests that Utahns are taxed higher than common belief. Am I

What’s the reason there are no Fortune 500s in Utah? Sorry, I’m dumb

Higher taxes than the People's Republic of Oregon and Washington. Also taxing

Taxing SS benefits is just wrong. That will keep me away in retirement.

Utah is a red state that isn't very conservative

But it is so much more enlightened and accepting then other red states

Utah is, in fact, a higher tax state.

I do want a lottery. It's time. Utah needs a lottery in a bad way.

Utah should eliminate Corp income taxes & dissolve GOED

It doesn’t help that Utah doesn’t allow charitable contributions to reduce taxes

My charitable donations reduce my AGI which reduces UT state income tax

BYU'01

Nov 22, 2:38pm

I’m not sure it does. AGI is used to calc Utah tax. Standard or itemized

I only itemize every other year, and state savings could be lower than fed but

I have some experience with tax bills and Protectionism is a huge problem in UT

Can you expound? I always thought "protectionism" was tariff related?

For sure. Protectionism is just a federal strategy to protect US goods.

Limiting income taxes revenue to edu is in the UT state constitution. I don’t…

Probably a poor example. Maybe school choice is a better example.

Doesn't Cox own the business that provides broadband or Wi-Fi to Utah schools?

Aren't the majority of Utah schools networked by the U?

Superkid

Most Utahns don't know this. Vote Republican & don't do their homework

Utah taxes is not a Cox issue. It is an Utah issue and has been for a while.
