Living in CA we will be increasing our sales tax i believe. I am not sure about my local city and county yet. I think California enacted something around 800 new laws this year. Crazy if you ask me, thats an insane number for one state.

CA also has income tax increases scheduled.

Which makes data like this all-the-much-less suprising:

No surprises about Texas, Florida, New Hampshire, New York, and Cali.

EDIT: Crunching the numbers, looks like the highest income rate is above 50% in Cali when including all taxes at all levels. Crazy.
