When we were at work swabbing the deck, necessarily barelegged, Pelle would sick the dog on us; and it was an endless source of pleasure to him when the dog succeeded in fastening its teeth in our legs and making the blood run down our ankles.
(CNSNews.com) â The Tax Foundation has ranked the states by their state income tax rates and among the highest are California, Hawaii, and Oregon. On a U.S. map, the Tax Foundation shows that the following 10 states (and counting the District of Columbia) have the highest individual income tax rates in 2014: California, 13.3%. Hawaii, 11.0%.
At 60.2%, Denmark last year had the highest top personal income tax rate among the 34 countries in the OECD, an organization of developed and emerging countries. And that 60.2% applied to income over roughly $55,000. That's a bigger bite than wealthy Californians face on their paychecks and other earned income. California, which recently raised taxes on the wealthy, now has the highest combined federal and state income tax rate in the United States.
