Quoted from metallik:TX has no income tax, normal sales tax, and (apparently) high property tax. EU has high sales tax (VAT), low property tax, ?? income tax...
The man's gonna get it one way or another.
Not if you go OCONUS. I'd rather be taxed hard and AT LEAST get something than be taxed little by little with annual increases and then when I go to file a claim for the first time in nearly 20 years, I'm told "well, if the damage is less than your deductible, you have to pay it".
Thr hell??? I've paid my insurance for 20+ years, and I can't get a simple fix because of some stupid technicality. Screw that.
Alot of people that have the financial means are ready to hop across the pond and are at the very minimum looking into it while comparing and contrasting the US vs other areas for living.
