Income tax is collected by the Federal Government, not each individual state, so in a way, yes, all states practice it.

Not just in the US either. Pretty much every country in the world has it. From what I understand, some anti-government types equate it to slavery. I'm rather certain that is a view unique to the US.

What do you call it when your forced to work without pay? I mean when all the money I make for four months is taken from me, how is that not slavery?
