Karma: Top 5 states to be hit by "fiscal cliff" tax increases are blue states...

The "fiscal cliff" is starting to look better. 

Via CNS News:

All five states with the top tax increases are “blue states,” which President Obama won in the 2012 presidential election. But so are four out of the bottom five states with the exception of Kansas.

Top Five Tax Increases Tax Increases as % of Income
#1 – New Jersey $6,933                                6.82%
#2 – Maryland    $7,194                                 6.74%
#3 – Connecticut $6,653                                6.62%
#4 – Massachusetts $6,632                           6.53%
#5 – New Hampshire $5,660                          5.81%

Forty states would see tax increases between $3,000 and $3,999. Six states would see an increase between $4,000 and $4,999 and three would see increases between $6,000 and $6,999.
