This list of the most taxed cities in America seems
straightforward. Bridgeport, at No. 1, has the highest percentage, 24.5. No. 2
Newark has a lower percentage than Bridgeport (the Connecticut city that
borders my hometown) but a higher percentage than No. 3 Philadelphia, and so
on. Until we get to No. 7, that is. If Louisville’s taxes, as a percentage of
annual income, are only 2.7, Kentucky’s largest city needs to move way down the
list, far removed from the top 10 — and I need to move to Louisville!
Louisville must stay at No. 7, of course. What has to change
is its percentage, which underwent some unforeseen tax cuts. Someone is
missing. Or, to be more precise, some
1
is missing. Levy that lost digit and no one gets charged with tax fraud.
Consider it a tax write-on, if you will.
I’m done. I won’t tax you with further puns, readers.
