There are federal, state and local taxes. State tax rates vary; they tend to be lower in less densely populated regions. Sometimes Republican areas really do have lower local and state tax rates, but this is not always the case. Virtually everything is taxed, but luxuries and "unhealthy" items tend to be taxed much more severely. Gasoline, tobacco and alcohol are all taxed to a level that many feel is 'brutal, yet justifiable'. You will pay American taxes on any earned income. If you are required to report this to your country of origin this will be your responsibility.
