The nice thing about having 50 states is that they can all try different things and we can learn what happens in the real world. No need to rely on predictions of doom and gloom.

Out of curiosity, the states with the fastest economic growth; what kind of income tax rates do they have?

I'm sure it's reassuring for citizens of Mississippi to be part of someone's ill-reasoned experiment. /s

Mississippi consistently sits at the bottom in terms of ranking of the economy, health care, and fiscal stability:

The poverty rate in Mississippi is typical north of 18% or 19%, putting it consistently among the states with the highest poverty rates.

The #1 economy on that list has a zero percent income tax.
