This tidbit comes from Chris Fitzsimon at North Carolina Policy Watch. He's been warning us for months that Republicans will be trotting out any number of falsehoods about taxes this election - and he's been making it his job to combat them in advance.
So in his latest column he says that if you hear any Republican candidates for governor or the state legislature talk about taxes being too high, keep in mind that North Carolina ranks 34th in the nation in taxes collected per capita.
34th.
That means we're in the bottom third, almost in the bottom quarter. How much lower do Fred Smith and the usual suspects running for the state house in Buncombe want us to go?
