If you belong to the 'middle class' , your income tax is a dream for many of us on the other side of the pool- California / single living: 25,000 $ per year : California Income tax 2.5 % Total fed tax with social security and medicare 15 % 50,000 ------------------------------------- 5.0 % ------------------------------------------------------ 25 % 100,000 ------------------------------------- 7.5 % ------------------------------------------------------ 30% >>100,000 ------------------------------------ >>???----------------------------------------------------------- ?? If you make a comparison with some european countries you can easily reach a total of >50% ! I have friends that moved to Cal, they prosper in a way that was unthinkable in their homeland.
