In states with no income taxes, it ends up being the opposite. At least you all get a break. I live in a state with relatively high property taxes (1.5%), state income tax, local income tax (both where you work, and where you live, 1.5%), school district income tax (1.5%), state sales tax (6.5%), local sales tax(1-2%), and a whole slew of special interest sales taxes (professional sports stadiums). This is a solidly red, "we hate taxes" state too. Sometimes I wonder if I would save on taxes by moving to CA.
