I don't know about the lowest, but I hear that Washington (the state) has one of the *highest*, in spite of not having an "income tax". They hit you for everything else, instead! On the other hand, by taxing everything else to death you also get to hit up the tourists, too! Side note: There's a rumour that the Washington highway patrol (who _love_ to ambush motorists in freeway speed traps) are planning an extra special effort this summer in honour of Expo '86. A little extra cash for money-starved Washington..
