Just how bad are the taxes on the middle class in Hawaii? In Canada I pay about $14k in income taxes on a bit less than 80k in income. 18% doesn't seem a lot to pay (combined Federal and Provincial) for roads, hospitals schools, police, fire protection, airports, border patrol, military and much more. Sure, I maximize my deductions to keep my taxes low, but so does any sensible person, right? Sales tax (GET) is definitely lower in Hawaii at 4% compared to a combined 12% (federal/provincial) in BC.
