Everyone wants to have lower taxes. Taxes are something that people are more than likely to complain about, and they see them as the way the government takes away from their hard-earned money.
So the more money you make, the more you have to pay. If you are already paying a ton to the federal government, you do not want to pay more to the state government.
New Hampshire and Alaska have some of the highest property taxes in the United States; they make anywhere between 45-63% of their taxable income from property taxes.
