State income taxes going up 50% just in time for Obama's new budget that eliminates state and local taxes as deductible items on your federal tax return. Effectively, you pay your state & local taxes PLUS your top marginal rate on the amount of those taxes.
I moved from Illinois to Idaho and even with Illinois income tax going up 50%, it’s still half of what it is here in Idaho.
Of course, my real estate taxes are 1/5 of what they are in Illinois. I pay $1600 here, my boss in Illinois pays $11,000.
