Congratulations to Kansas for winning the national NCAA basketball championship beating North Carolina 72 – 69, but North Carolina’s taxpayers are better off. Kansas’ Taxpayer BurdenTM is $7,500, while each taxpayer’s burden in North Carolina is $1,400. This means each taxpayer in Kansas will have to pay $7,500 in taxes in the future for bills that the state has already accumulated.
Kansas may be number one in the world of college basketball, but it ranks 27th in Truth in Accounting’s Financial State of the States.
