Low Tax States are High Growth States!

Why does the American population continue to shift from the East and Midwest to the West and the South? Certainly an escape to more favorable weather and a more active outdoor life plays a part in this migration, but the states that are losing population are also higher tax states. And those that are growing are lower tax states.  After all, paying less in taxes allows you to keep more of the money you earn.  The same level of income gives you a higher standard of living!

From the tax perspective to every other factor of livability and desirability, Arizona continues to be one of the nation's most desirable and fastest growing states. In the mid 20th century, Arizona was associated with active retirement communities, seasonal residents and winter visitors. Throughout the '80s and '90s and the opening decade of the new millennium, Arizona has hovered near or at the top of the nation's growth charts! Today, this state of breathtaking natural beauty claims a dynamic, mixed population that is younger than the national average! The state's median age is 34.2 compared to the national 35.3 years.

However, individuals are not the only ones interested in lower taxes and keeping more of their money. Lower tax burdens and lower infrastructure costs make Arizona an extremely favorable place to do business. The February 2009 issues of Chief Executives Magazine ranked Arizona 8^th nationally for jobs and business growth. At the same time, Arizona was Number 10 on the list of Best Places to Live in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.

Throughout the last 30 years of rapid growth, expansion and diversity, Arizona has not lost its appeal as the perfect place to retire.  Reece Halpern, founder of GoodTimes.com, the most trafficked Internet magazine for those who are age 50 and older, cites Arizona among the top three places in the world for those who plan to retire on a fixed income.  He praises Arizona's healthy desert climate with its low humidity and average year-round temperature of 70 F degrees. Arizona also offers excellent air quality with the exception of its metropolitan centers. Abundant open space, world-class recreation, mild and sun-drenched weather, a comparatively low cost of living, and the popularity of single-level ranch-style homes are other advantages that appeal to retirees. And the Arizona tax structure wins again: According to the Arizona Department of Revenue, the state repealed its estate tax and has no gift or inheritance tax. Best of all, Arizona does not tax Social Security benefits or railroad retirement benefits.
