Yes, and Texas also has no state income tax. Both are friendly places to small business.

  Which I think is the answer to the puzzle: the job and housing markets matter a lot more than the tax situation.

    It seems like this thread proved the opposite of the point you were trying to make -- that Americans are indeed migrating to states with no state income tax?

      It hasn't "proved" anything, it's just two cherry picked examples

  Texas is not friendly to small business. Small businesses require customers. Texas has a lot of poor people, who typically don't shop. Seattle has a lot of well off people with disposable income. If there are no customers, low taxes don't mean much.

    Not relevant to an online tech startup. Also not even true since TX is a very large state with plenty of wealthy people.
