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%.
Fourty-four of the fifty states collect a state income tax, all of which are lower than the Federal Income Tax. The highest marginal tax bracket in any state is just over 10%, comparable to the lowest tax bracket in the Federal Income Tax. While most states use a bracketed system similar to the Federal Income Tax, some use a flat income tax which collects a single, low percentage of all income from the first dollar to the last.
