The Problem With British Zombies

When it comes to zombies most people don't think to draw distinctions between dead people of different genders, races or ethnicities, because they're all an abomination and need to be destroyed immediately.

Some zombies would be easy to put down, and a shotgun blast to the head would be doing them a favor, but trying to take out a British zombie could be a bit tricky.

Because, as this comic by Julia Lepetit shows, British zombies are just too polite to blow away!

If you're going to parody the British, you could at least take the trouble to get a British person to check it before you publish and make a fool of yourself. So many things wrong here but let's just start with - it's GUV not GOV.

Now how long does it take to earn $100 in each area?

Looks exactly like a political map.

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.
