X-rays of Coloring Book Characters

French illustrator Chris Panda took simple line drawings of fictional characters from TV, movies, and comic books and added the skeletal structures that would show up in x-rays. See Popeye, Jessica Rabbit, Michigan J. Frog, Spider-Man, Bambi, and even Miley Cyrus in his Facebook gallery. In the image shown, we get a clue to internal anatomy of a mermaid, as Ariel's fish ribs continue below her human pelvis. Freaky. Yes, there are skulls inside all of us, no matter how oddly-shaped. -via Unreality

One CRUCIAL factor is not included in this $100 comparison by state -- personal income tax. BLS and the Tax Foundation have no way to calculate that in the formula, because the tax differs dramatically depending on what level of income you have.

For instance, while 7 states have zero income tax, uber-progressive (well progressive EXCEPT about Uber) California has a personal income tax that's, well, uber progressive -- varying from NEGATIVE (cash credits) to 13.3% -- by FAR the highest in the nation -- impossible to calculate in the formula.

Also ignored as impossible to calculate are fees, fines, and other state and local "non-purchase" levies by government. Fee-crazy California again "excels" in this area.

Hence the hypothetical $100 is AFTER-tax dollars. Other taxes included in a purchase (sales, excise, etc) ARE included in the comparison, but income tax is not. The REAL total difference between the states is often significantly higher as a result, but not included in this study.
