You said -- "No, there is no sales tax on goods."
Another follow-up on that -- to make a comparison between Texas and Oregon. I just bought an Airport Extreme (wireless) and it cost me $16 more in Texas -- just for the taxes.
If I were in Oregon, I would have saved -- on just *one purchase* -- $16. This is adding up while I'm down here.... I'm wanting to get back to Oregon just to save money. I could save enough for retirement -- just from the sales tax down here in Texas.

Wow! You see, there is this little thing called "The Internet". It's pretty cool as you can buy things from various merchants, some of which are tax free!
So to more fully enjoy Texas over the socialist paradise of Oregon, you may want to investigate it. I believe it even works on the Mac!
