When talking about taxes, it's important to look at all taxes and look at income levels too. My go to for information is Who Pays from ITEP.

So if you look at Maine, for example, you can see in the lowest 20% of income you'd pay 8.7% of family income. In, for example, NH at the lowest 20% you'll pay 9.1%.

On the other hand, if you are in the highest 20% in Maine you'll pay 8.6%. in NH it's 3%

Just for fun if you're in the lowest 20% in Florida you'll pay 12.7% (ouch). If you're in the top it's 2.3%.
