General Discussion

Every state is creating tax revenue somewhere to pay for cops/prisons, schools, roads, etc. All of them. Even the Repug controlled ones. They are all spending money, which means they are all taking in money. There is no magic place with no taxes.

If it isn't income then it is sales, or property, or hotel, or excises, or registration fees. And most of those forms are regressive. Unless you're in the 1%, you should want your state to have an income tax so they can use less of the regressive revenue methods -- you will pay less total taxes that way.
