Study: Heavy Tax Burden Still Falls on Low-Income Workers

Tuesday is also the deadline to file federal and state income tax returns, or to file for an extension. Californians who make more than $500,000 will find they're paying substantially more to the state than they were before voters passed Proposition 30 a couple of years ago. But a new study by the California Budget Project says those higher taxes for higher-income workers has not lightened the tax burden for low-income workers.
