and look for state tax levels as a percentage of personal income. I believe CA has moved down on this list, but its still tied for 13th at 7.59%. 1.12 percentage points above the average, and close to double New Hampshire's level.

I'm a little uncertain about that ranking though. I would think New York would be near the top but its listed as 20th.
