5. I'll take the Texas tax code any day over Virginia

I didn't realize how good I had it in Texas. No income tax and no sales tax on groceries or medicine. Virginia has a lower sales tax, but they tax everything, including groceries. The 3% - 5% state income tax and personal property tax on automobiles doesn't help either.
