Woohoo! California is Number 15!
Wait scratch that.
According to MSN California is ranked 15th among the 50 states for state and local taxes. Not something to get all giddy about. I was truly shocked that the situation is actually worse for 14 other states. Property Taxes here are brutal. So are income taxes. Come to think of it our sales tax is outrageous. Wait, I almost forgot our gas tax is insanely high. Oh well.
Congratulations Maine and New York. I hope you are happy with how the government spends your money.
Take a look at where your state ranks. You might just consider giving yourself a tax break by heading north. If you move to New Hampshire, Delaware or Alaska you just might get a double bonus. If global warming would just really kick in the climate should be much better in all three states!
