...first time I toured Texas I was surprised to find just about every major municipality had their own local tax surcharge on top of the state tax. Today it looks like the avg overall TX sales tax rate is ~ 8%.
Follow Ups:
Actually, I did consider that. CA is 1% higher with a broader increase depending upon local taxes.
I omitted that since income tax alone soundly answers the question why folks are leaving. ;)
Avg CA sales tax seems to be about 8.4% so overall tax rates don't favor CA if raw tax rates are a major input when deciding where to live. But I'd also consider what one gets for those taxes as well as other intangible factors like "quality of life". Not an easy calculation.
In the final analysis, however, people and companies are leaving for a variety of reasons.
