The amount individuals pay in taxes each year varies based on how much you earn, what kinds of property you own and how you spend and save your money. But where you live plays a role as well. Here are the 15 states where residents must put the highest proportions of their paychecks towards taxes.
Mississippi and Iowa (Total tax burden 9.32 percent); West Virginia (Total tax burden: 9.4 percent); Maryland (Total tax burden: 9.45 percent); Ohio (Total tax burden: 9.48 percent); California (Total tax burden: 9.57 percent); New Jersey (Total tax burden: 10.02 percent); Illinois (Total tax burden: 10.08 percent); Rhode Island (Total tax burden: 10.14 percent); Connecticut (Total tax burden: 10.19 percent); Minnesota (Total tax burden: 10.37 percent); Vermont (Total tax burden: 10.94 percent); Maine (Total tax burden: 11.02 percent); Hawaii (Total tax burden: 11.57 percent); New York (Total tax burden: 13.04 percent);

If you get good services for the extra in taxes, this shouldn't be labeled " the worst states". Some states have very high sales taxes and low or no income taxes.

I found interesting info: seven US states have no state income tax — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. New Hampshire and Tennessee don't have a state income tax either, but they do tax interest and dividends at 5% and 6%.
