I don't know about Uthah, but friends of mine from other states frequently talk about how burdensome and costly. Plus, many of them overlap with Federal taxes.

I can't remember where I read it, but a number of years ago I saw something written from one of our Presidents in the late 1800s or early 1900s, I believe, that prophesized Federal taxes will become small in comparison to state and local taxes.

Good luck on the hearing.

I'm afraid I won't be able to say much about state taxes, but they should remember we have to pay them too as they pass the federal laws.
