Bogus argument. Property tax "percentages" are high, but property is much cheaper here, so actual property tax dollars are less. And No state income tax.
I agree that homes are cheaper but still after the house is paid off you are still paying way more for the home then others. No state tax is zero in Florida and Delaware too but don't pay near what Texans pay for their property taxes. I know New Hampshire doesn't pay state taxes either but property taxes are probably as high as Texas or even higher.
