Texas has no income tax, which is a big draw for corporate executives who do business there. But it's hardly tax-free. The property taxes are high for a Southern state. The sales taxes are high. One study found that the bottom 20 percent of the Texas population pays 12 percent of its income in state and local taxes.
Limited government, low taxes, controlled spending and debt, and a restrained regulatory environment make Texas work.
Marginal tax rates are the lowest they've been in generations, and all we can talk about is tax cuts.
Texas is a great place to be rich and a terrible place to be poor. It's got the highest percentage of people without health insurance in the country. If you get injured on the job, good luck getting workers' comp. And God help you if you're poor and mentally ill.
Leading economists have shown that by shrinking Texas, we can actually create more income for Texas in the long run.
