There's property taxes and sales tax. They're regressive taxes but it's not like there's no taxes at all.

No state income tax, but lots of "fees" for basic legal things (driver's license renewal, car registration renewal, etc)

Higher overall taxes in red states like Texas avoiding wealth income tax! And "Liberal policies keep blue-state residents living longer" "Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates" Crimes per 1M trips * NYC: 1.3 * Dallas: 38.0 "Texans 17% more likely to be murdered than Californians"

Agreed. Transplanted NYer in Florida. The difference isn’t the DMV stuff, it’s the toll roads. Can’t really go anywhere in FL without paying tolls every few miles. It adds up.

They pay way more for mortgage insurance and property taxes. But they get to tell themselves they are sticking it to the gov, so they are fine with it.
