Most individuals pay more in state income taxes than they do in federal, and in some states, the state income tax rate is higher than the federal FICA rate too. A lot of it depends on family situation. My father pays way more in state taxes, because he has so many children and Wisconsin doesn't have all the tax credits the federal government offers.

I'd pull out my records to prove it to you, but they are back in the States. And it's none of your business anyway.[-x

You no longer have a say in how the government spends it's money either. Enjoy your Freedom and Social Security/Medicare you will one day receive.



My state tax liability is peanuts and not even worth worrying about.

I understand why we need a tax and I'm fine with it. Shit, my next approach is gonna have to include using Photoshop to procure a damn picture for you.
