STATE GOVERNMENTS MAY BE EXPANDING WEALTH GAP [Excerpts] 

Economists point to a variety of factors contributing to the gap, from the shift toward foreign manufacturing to a growth in single-parent households.  Federal policies also come into play. 

But state governments also have an impact. 

Since the mid-1970s, states as a whole have cut their top individual income tax rates by nearly one-fourth, while boosting state sales tax rates by almost half, according to an Associated Press analysis. 

That has meant lower taxes for those earning the most and a bigger proportionate tax bite for those who spend more of their income on retail sales. 

Vermont, for example, has cut its top personal income tax rate from 17.5 percent to less than 9 percent while doubling its sales tax rate to 6 percent.
