Written by Gary North on October 28, 2014

Each year, the Tax Foundation rates states in terms of business taxes and personal taxes. If you want to start a business, where should you live?

If you want to buy real estate as an investment, where should you live?

If you want to live where your kids have a better shot at getting a decent job, where should you live?

The winners are:

  1. Wyoming*
  2. South Dakota*
  3. Nevada*
  4. Alaska*
  5. Florida*
  6. Washington*
  7. New Hampshire*
  8. Montana
  9. Texas*
  10. Utah

The losers are:

  1. Maryland
  2. Iowa
  3. Wisconsin
  4. North Carolina
  5. Minnesota
  6. Rhode Island
  7. Vermont
  8. California

    I can't agree that Texas belongs on this list as it's one of 15 states still imposing an annual 2% tax on business inventories. It should be enough that business collects state sales tax. For this reason, I suspended my plans to go into business in Texas, starting with a minimum $5 million in inventory.
