in cali, most middle class families are paying 9.3% state income tax.
but then IL/chicago sales taxes are much higher than cali, so........
a lot of this stuff balances out one way or the other because the governement is gonna get it's money one way or the other.
comparing places by only looking at one type of tax burden is quite simplistic and not terribly informative.
