Do you mean federal or state income tax? I am in one of the states with no tax paid to the state (Texas) but rest assured we still pay federal income tax as well as higher property and sales tax to make up for it.

He almost certainly meant a few states do not collect state income tax.

I'm in a state with no state income tax as well (Washington). I've lived in states with income tax before. As a single individual with high income that rents their primary residency I greatly benefit from living in places without income tax compared to places with even modest income taxes.
