All New Jersey residents know the  taxes are ridiculously high here, and that our state is probably the worst in the country. Both of those ideas have been confirmed.

The website Go Banking Rates compared all the states in the nation and how much taxes the average person paid in each one, and guess which state is worst for taxes. You guessed it.

Here are some jaw dropping New Jersey numbers that may prompt you to make your next purchase a "For Sale" sign.

State Income tax paid...$2,912

Property tax paid...$8,034.18
