        It's an attempt to correct for states that have large leisure industries. - spamlet Feb 24, 11:25 4

        as a critique of any individual state's tax policy, really, but yes. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 11:33
        
        certainly, and I think your criticisms are completely valid as far as how useful this data really is. - znufrii Feb 24, 11:23
      - (note: I didn't ready any of the attached materials, so I have no idea whether they were drawing biased conclusions from the data.) - znufrii Feb 24, 11:18
