Thankfully I'm not a US citizen, but I am thinking about leaving the US. I moved here largely because I was under the impression it was a low-tax country. What I didn't realise at the time was that you can add an extra 10% or so in state taxes onto the quoted rates (or live the desert and pay an equivalent amount in property taxes). Australia may have a 48.5% (last I checked) top tax rate, but at least once you've paid that you're basically done.
