Many states have no state-level personal income tax. How do you think that effects expenditure decisions?
What will be an ideal response?
States that do not have income taxes rely on other sources of revenue such as excise taxes. If

income residents. However, states can choose to exempt items like food and shelter, which
account for a greater percentage of spending among the poor.
