Taxes
Texas has been on a very successful economic run since 2000. This trend is commonly called the "Texas Miracle", due to the phenomenal growth in the Texas economy, attributed in large part to Texas business friendly tax structure. Between 2001 and 2011, according to the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Texas GDP grew from about $763 billion (in current dollars) to about $1.3 trillion. Population, and the per capita income have grown substantially too, while Texas' unemployment rate has been lower than the national average every month.
With no corporate income tax and no individual income tax, Texas has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country, ranking as a Top 10 Best State in the Tax Foundation's 2015 State Business Tax Index.
