How do different states assess the amount of state income taxes they collect?

1. Diffrent states assess by choosing where they want there taxes to come from. Like if a place has a high property tax most likely they have a low income tax or vice versa.
2. they just look at the people and take until they cant take any more then if its a republican state they back up 1% and say look we are helping you, if its a democrate state the add another 10% and say look what we can give to some one that isnt working.
3. Most if not all states use your federal filings to determine your income tax liability.
