Our tax burden

For the feds it was 12.72 percent. For state and local, via real estate and estimated sales taxes, it was almost 10 percent. That’s roughly what some others pay in state income taxes, which pols here like to crow that we don’t have. But they do find ways to make up for it. Sadly, we will not be getting a federal refund this year. But all-in-all, I think we’re getting off light.
