property taxes and their relationship to rent in a previous thread. Further, the sales taxes you seem to think are so negligible are the foundation of the tax structure in Texas, both for state and municipal funding (other than our gradual state overdependence on, mmm, shall we say, sucking on the federal tit to avoid raising state taxes). So the situation is not as clear-cut as you seem to think.

I would agree that undocumented workers do not contribute to federal funding, in the main.
