The Peace Garden State imposes only modest sales taxes that favor agriculture (new farm machinery is taxed at only 3%), and its income tax rates are minuscule, even for high earners. Gas taxes are well below the national average. Food and prescription drugs are exempt from sales taxes. Alcoholic beverages are taxed at 7%. The property tax on the state’s median home value of $164,000 is $1,729, just below the average rate for the U.S.

Interesting that Texas, with NO state income tax, a rather low rate of other taxes isn’t mentioned. Could be because it, unlike the other states, is Republican run. Could it?
