6. Income taxes are a lot easier to target different income levels than sales taxes are...

And therefore help a state be able to try and benefit those really hit hard by financial times like this and force those who have benefitted too much to pay more. I imagine Washington must have a nightmare trying to figure out how to raise revenue without getting many of those in lower and middle income levels really and legitimately angry with them in doing so, with their sales tax only system.
