Almost everybody does pay taxes; payroll, sales, some federal and state excise taxes, property tax either directly or thru rent. For instance, Texas, for example, appears to have all the makings of a low-tax state. It has no personal income tax, no corporate income tax, no estate tax, and ranks 43rd in state and local tax collections as a share of personal income... The poorest 20 percent of Texans devote 13 percent of their incomes to paying state and local taxes—including sales taxes, excise taxes, and property taxes, among other levies. itep.org
