Which states’ residents are most impacted by Obama’s plan to raise taxes on the rich?

September 12, 2012

This may be common knowledge, but it was a surprise to me …

Based on the 2009 census data (latest available), just under 4% of U.S. households have income greater than $200,000.

Below are the 20 states with the highest proportion of households with incomes greater than $200,000 … led by DC, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland (a suburb of DC).

The interesting part:

15 of the states (or 16 depending on how you count Colorado) are Blue- Democratic states

… only 3 are Red-Republican states

… 2 are Purple-Swing states.

Hmmm.
