Arkansas Taxes

I found this from the Census Bureau : States Ranked by Total Taxes and Per Capita Amount: 2005
Looking at the table, Arkansas is 18th in total taxes per capita.
Then there is this table. Arkansas is 47th in Median Household Income.

There is something terribly wrong with a state that is near the bottom of the states in household income but we are near the top in paying taxes. Governor Huckabee and the Arkansas Legislature really has some explaining to do. How can they justify such a disparity? Hopefully one of the big issues for this election year will be our taxes. What I want to know, is Asa Hutchinson going to address this issue?

Hutchinson's been talking a lot about cutting taxes. It is on his website at
