Happily, the Ektarrian Master Plan calls for trading New Jersey for South Carolina.

NJ.... Have you heard why they have the most toxic waste dumps, and FL has the most lawyers?

NJ had first choice.

I'm not complaining, too much anyway...am happy right here where I am..life is good.

It's a little misleading....since it's an overall average, it doesn't take into account the localities. It says TN median tax is $704....I paid $3000 last year on a $175K house. Memphis is ridiculously high.

Taxes aren't too bad here in NV, no state income tax, every once in a while some jackhole will raise that issue and quickly loose their seat. Casinos (read that tourists) pay alot too.

I live in CA and travel to AZ. I can't stand CCWing in Arizona. You can not CCW in any restaurant that servers beer, wine etc. That means IHOP only!

I guess things vary greatly by locality. I paid as much for a small townhome in Birmingham that I pay for 6 acres and a larger home in rural TN. Part of this is my land is considered farm land and has a lower tax rate. Sorry you others guys have to pay so much.
