They do if it's their home-of-record. Only Texas, Florida and Ilinois have no personal income tax at the state level. In Virginia, income tax is at the county level.

Yes, other states can do that as well.  Maine is one I think.  Most states don't have such big tax bills linked to your license plates, you just pay your $50 and that's that.

New Hampshire doesn't have a sales tax. It does have a meals tax for meals bought in restaurants or fast food places--I believe it's 8%. But for anything else, NH has no sales tax.

it is so different state by state that it is hard to give any info. some states regulate more than others. for example in Oregon you are controlled by the state as to pricing. no real competition, high prices.

Money Magazine did a very interesting piece "How tax-friendly is your state?"http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/taxesbystate2005/index.html .

You are asking about consumption (sales) taxes, I assume. States are already doing this, and the variances from state to state are great. It is NOT unconstitutional. \n\nFor example, I live in PA, where clothing, unprepared food, and medical services are not taxed, but most everything else is. Delaware has no sales tax. Florida taxes clothing.\n\nSometimes governments decide to increase taxes on things that they don't want people to do (look at cigarrette taxes) or things they know people will keep buying anyway (phone service and gasoline).\n\nFor those that would argue in favor if replacing income tax with a national sales tax, forget it! Bad Idea! Not only would we be pushing the cost of living up and creating a system fraught with opportunities for special interest groups to weasel in; retireees and those close to retirement would be screwed. Our current system revolves around saving for retirement by deferring income taxes and planning to be in a lower income tax bracket in retirement. Furthermore, tax free retirement plans (like the Roth IRA) will be doubly screwed since everything you buy with your "tax free" money will now be taxed.

Alaska has the most. There are a lot of states with far more islands than Hawaii. For example, Michigan has 348 named islands, plus many other unnamed islands.
