Many people on this thread projecting their views without appearing to have much experience...

1. Currently live in state with property taxes, income taxes, sales tax, VAT for my car, etc. its is way too many taxes for the "services" the state provides. 
2. Previously lived in a no income tax state (Texas) I have property taxes and sales tax.

Here is my impression:

My property taxes are approximately the same.
My sales taxes are approximately the same.
School system in MY CURRENT SCHOOL DISTRICT of my income taxed state is a little worse than my non-tax state (Texas). This is a function of the county I chose. More "affluent" areas have a "better" school facilities but I don't know if they are any better at educating kids. It isn't because my current county/city doesn't spend very large amounts of money on education (over 50% of my property taxes are for school) its more related to the mentality of the people in my current area.

I agree that something about the calculations appear to "balance out"... when in a no-tax state I didn't get the federal deductions for state taxes... so on-balance its about the same in my case.[/quote]
