It is interesting to note that in Chart #2 Kingston's "per capital income" is listed as "18,662" --- which is (if I understand this right) between 150 and 175% of the "2009 Pverty Guidelines" --- according to CSO/DEHPG/DEEO ["Derived from poverty guidelines as published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2009"]............
Which would seem to mean that not only are Kingston residents overtaxed --- but they are in deep trouble even before "that" [the high taxation] is taken into consideration...
