Rendell lucked out, in a way. Both his predecessor and his successor made him look much better than he really was.

Well, the one thing we can be sure of is to stay out of N.J.

If it's any consolation my Delaware County (52) is higher than Fort Bend County.

Frankly, I'm kinda shocked that Delco would be higher than Bucks.

I'm surprised too that Philadelphia County is not on the list. I wonder if they are factoring in the Philly wage tax on workers who live in Delco? OTOH, I didn't even see Montco or Chesco on the list.

I agree- maybe someone smarter than me will see the list and tell us if there is some hocus pocus formula going on here...

You know, I didn’t see a sales tax category there. Does TX have one? If it’s less that 6 percent that would change things.

8.25% sales tax- No state income tax but we pay more for things like car tags - I paid $36 a year in PA, $60 in Texas

TX might have as high a tax burden as PA, although I still can't believe it.

Maybe the difference as to why Texans have jobs might be right to work & unions.
