Skeeter your first link is worthless, of course CA pays the most tax in absolute terms, this state has the largest economy at 1.7 trillion GDP.

Total tax burden per GDP is worth something, and as you point out CA is #17 at .56 per $1 GDP, right next to Connecticut and a few cents away from PA, OH, PN, NY.

Michigan is a big state at .65!

I don't know how you can conclude from your links that CA is overtaxed relative to other states. We have the University of CA system that is the #1 public university system that is practically free, so thats a big benefit and yet we are taxed at the same rates as the other big guys.

I'd like it if my taxes were lowered too but to claim CA is so out of control on spending when it is spending the same as everybody else just doesn't do too much.
