THE 'RICH STATES, POOR STATES' REPORT WITH ALEC'S JONATHAN WILLIAMS

Jonathan Williams, Chief Economist and Executive Vice President of Policy at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), discusses the annual report 'Rich States, Poor States' and the economic competitiveness of different states. The report ranks states based on factors such as taxes, regulation, and labor policy. The top 10 states in the ranking are generally governed by fiscally conservative legislators and governors, with nine out of 10 having Republican governors. The report highlights the success stories of states that have implemented tax cuts and limited government, leading to economic growth and job creation. It also addresses the impact of the elimination of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction and the potential expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
