Kentay, can you convert that to raw dollars? And personally I could care less what individual states do other than to say it seems the more successful states have lower tax rates than the higher tax states. Also keep in mind the president himself admitted that higher federal taxes on the rich are more for fairness than for raising revenue. 40 billion a year on a trillion dollar yearly deficit won't do a thing. If you read something other than thinkprogress you would be current on this.
