The map below is no surprise to me. I guess with the exception of New York state, California is the most parasitic when it comes to taxation. I don’t really feel it myself (how could I, with Slopers defining my income??) but my boy certainly does. Not only was his state tax bill enough to fund a new hydroelectric dam, but thanks to the Trump tax changes a few years back, a mere $10,000 of those are deductible! Suffice it to say, I hate all governments, and I resent every single penny my family sends to any of them.
