Taxachusetts? More like "Californ-ya gonna get taxed"

I just completed my 2007 tax returns - love Turbo Tax. While Massachusetts may have a liberal, "Taxachusetts" reputation, I never once owed income taxes there, including the 2007 return I just finished. I am also getting a refund on my 2007 federal return. But California, where I resided for merely 114 days last year? I owe the Governator $194.

The other kicker: in Massachusetts there is no tax on clothing and a 5% tax on everything else. California? 8.5% on everything.
