It is known that in some U.S. states as well as in some other countries, the higher your income, the higher your taxes, while in others, the lower your income, the lower your taxes. The simple question I would like to ask you is this: which would you choose, to accept a job with high income in a where the cost of living is high and you pay high taxes, or go for a low paying job in a state where the cost of living is low and the taxes are low? After all, taxes never end.
anyhow we understand it a tax is also and a tax in respective what you receive as a salary weekly or monthly or hourly, if you are receiving a low payment and you paying a low tax, it is equivalent to what you are paying when you have a high payment so I've not seen any different between both of them due to someone who is receiving higher payment is at advantage is because the high rate of tax the person that received high payment paid, their balance all their profit or their service can't be equated because they have different ration of payment which is low and high and the tax payment is also different, so it will be nice for me to fall into the category or people go receive higher payment and also a higher tax.

I would tend to choose to live in a high-income area even if taxes are high. I think the majority of people here would choose the same. There's essentially no difference in the tax deduction percentage, it's based on income and the cost of living in a particular area. Other factors, however, might be lifestyle and access to better public services, such as better education and healthcare.

However, it all comes down to individual preference. I understand that quite a few people also choose to live in areas with lower taxes because of the cost of living and lower competition. Essentially, everyone will still pay more when purchasing goods, even if they live in different areas.
