Cool, I can make my 166K on the slope and avoid any taxes and fly back home to Texas. Meanwhile the budget will be balanced using sales tax extracted from people who don't make much, don't even have jobs, or aren't even old enough to work. 

OK, confession - I don't live in Texas, but I have made that kind of money on the slope alongside many people from out of state who never set a foot outside of the airport in Anchorage. Another observation with regard to sales taxes is that people like me don't buy much more than someone who earns 4 times less. People only need so many pairs of pants and toothbrushes, and it's not as if I have to spend everything I earn to buy these things...but people who earn less often do. 

My point - Sales Tax is a Regressive and Economically Unhealthy Tax.
