Review of Washington, District of Columbia


Taxes
Star Rating - 12/22/2009
The DC income tax is very high because 10% of the taxpayers pay 90% of the taxes. This is primarily due to the liberal social programs of the district and the number of residents who require the services.

There are 675,000 jobs in the city, due to the federal government, and less than 170,00 of those jobs are held by District residents.
