OP is talking about comparing families specifically. This talking point doesn't mean anything on the level of a single taxpayer.

You could argue that the family in Texas is getting more services for their tax dollar. But, that is almost certainly false, because people who actually make enough to pay taxes don't tend to consume the kind of services that cost tons of money (aka. social services).
