Maine has the highest overall taxes in the US.


I think NY still has that distinction.


Here's some numbers.

Maine has the highest local taxes as a percentage of income, but their
income is low. NY has higher taxes, but the income is higher. To get
a full picture you'd have to fold in the federal burden. Also, you
have to take into consideration the fact that Maine is somewhat more
"socialist" than much of the country.
