"Make our tax structure less regressive by punishing everyone with equally high taxes to pay for shitty versions of programs dominated by public sector unions that will satisfy nobody" seems to be the legislature's current push

Move to $\STATE, where you'll get paid half the wages, but the cost of living is one third of what it is on the salt coasts.

If it's really 20%, you should figure out how big your savings has to be in order to retire and measure in years remaining instead of the traditional Income/COL.
