    Very Interesting!

    "I've always thought America stands for [rewarding success]. You finish high school. You work hard, go to college and you hope to succeed in life. I never knew it's a class war—that those who succeed in life are the ones that have to bear all the burden. I never realized that. It will be a whole change in America that those who succeed and work hard, we're gonna tax 'em more than anyone else."

    Texas, Florida, Nevada and Delaware have zero state income taxes. Delaware dosen't even have a sales tax, according to a friend who used to live there.

    this. i had an uncle that moved to texas after he retired to be closer to his children and grandchildren. he stayed two years and then had to move because he couldnt afford the "other" taxes in texas on his retirement income.
