Washington has one of the most regressive tax structures in the country.
Massachusetts has a flat tax.

Yes but we rely on sales taxes (no income tax), that's even more regressive than a flat tax.
How? The gap between the wealthy and poor in terms of income is smaller then the gap between them in terms of purchasing power(due to investments, inheritance etc.)
