The issue with the income tax is the rate can and likely rise over time.
I was a resident of CT when Lowell Weiker was elected to governor running on a "no income tax" platform.
Well, he gave us an income tax but lowered the sales tax.
Both have crept up over the years.
A 1% income tax will grow and grow and grow.
Having seen CT and NH goverments in action, I am convinced that the only way to ensure responsible spending is to maintain a budget condition of near starvation.
