Right, thank you. Minnesota has a graduated income tax rate that ranges from 5.35% to 9.85%, depending on income levels. The highest rate applies to individuals earning over $276,200.

Yep. Minnesota got the social welfare minded Scandinavians. WA got the Just Leave Me Alone in the Gray individualists.

How does Minnesota justify that? It's not like California or New York. They aren't the center of a major industry that attracts a huge share of global talent. And I doubt they're pulling in many rich people who dream of living there - it's a flat prairie with awful weather, limited cultural significance, and one midsize city.
