Everyone knows that when you increase taxes there is actually less revenue coming in because of the many tax loopholes. Can you give me one good reason that some people should pay more in payroll taxes than others pay? That doesn't sound American to me because we're all supposed to be equal under the U.S. Constitution. > You fools are being had. > You are the one still living out in California! The income tax in California is 9.5%, plus your federal income tax. Looks like you're being had - there is no state income tax in Texas. The combined federal tax rate on income of $60,000, then, is actually 18.5% in California on earnings over $34,500.00.
