I think this is an interesting point to add to the discussion about tax rates by state. For example, Hawaii has high income taxes - but very low property taxes. Something else to consider when deciding which state is the best to live in.<p>Also worth considering that $200k in income in California with a couple kids probably doesn't pay the full 10% income tax, because the rates are progressive; but will pay the full 1.2-1.7% property tax on a new 750k-1 million dollar home.
