Please, not more of this nonsense
Show me a SWE who makes median ($40,480 in 2023) money or less. That quote does not apply. For people making SWE money, Texas is a LOT better tax-wise
- fzeroracer 3y agoI lived in Texas making six figures as a SWE. Texas was not far better tax wise. Texas does a lot to ding you in ways that aren't taxes, and buying a home that doesn't involve an hour and a half commute one way is unrealistic.
- wolverine876 3y ago> 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?
- tomrod 3y agoProperty tax, sales tax, toll roads in places they shouldn't be, and so forth.
- acdha 3y agoProperty and local taxes, and also simply doing less. https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/tax-burden-by-state-2022/ https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/tax-burden-by-state... Californians pay more taxes but they also get better social services, schools, universities, parks, etc.
- tomrod 3y agoFormer Texan here. Property taxes cost quite a bit, far exceeding incremental tax load in areas I've lived out of the state. Anecdata, but a counterpoint to your general claim.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoNonsense? Most people aren't software engineers.
- dillydogg 3y agoDo you not care about people who do not make SWE wages?
