> For people making SWE money, Texas is a LOT better tax-wise

How do the people of Texas pay for things, then, if not through income taxes?

Property and local taxes, and also simply doing less.

Californians pay more taxes but they also get better social services, schools, universities, parks, etc.

Property tax, sales tax, toll roads in places they shouldn't be, and so forth.
