How would rural Texas be less dangerous than rural Michigan?

What kind of danger are you in?

Oh also, the following states don't have a state income tax:

Alsaka, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.

New Hampshire and Tennessee only tax dividinds, which the average sui jurist won't have any of.

Also - keep in mind that if you make less than a certain amount, you don't have to worry about the Feds coming after you for taxes either. That's really the easiest way to opt out of that...
