Your reply is to a post that is talking about taxes generally, not income taxes specifically. Texas has no income tax, but has sales[0] and property[1] taxes that are above the national average, as well as tolls on many public[2] roads. Texans are heavily taxed, but in ways which are based on overall footprint/usage rather than the ham-fisted distribution of income taxes that other states prefer. I agree with your assertion that life is better because of that.
