In the United States, there are three kinds of taxes(税).

The first tax is for the federal(联邦的)government. American people who have a salary(薪水) of more than four to five thousand dollars a year must pay a certain rate(比率)of their salary to the federal government. The rate is different from person to person. If depends on his or her salary. If a person has a salary of less than $17,850 a year, he or she should pay 15% of his or her salary to the federal government. If a person has a salary of more than $17,850 a year, he or she should pay 28% of his or her salary to the federal government.

The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have the same tax as that of the federal government. Of course, the rate for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, for example, a person might want to buy a radio for twenty-five dollars. If there is a sales tax of 8% in that state, then the cost of the radio is twenty-seven dollars.

The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property(财产)tax(people who own a house have to pay taxes on it)and excise tax(消费税). The cities use the tax money for education, police and some other public matters.

Since Americans pay such high taxes, they feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world, because they have to work one day each week just to pay their taxes.
