Florida...Texas...
Similar idea. Not exactly the same.
US(2006 figures, ballpark):
$13 trillion GDP
Taxes account for 24.6% of GDP (Heritage foundation)
Income taxes: $2 trillion of $2.5 trillion total IRS collections
Texas:
$986 billion GSP
Revenue breakdown for 2008:
Total revenue:$86 billion, or 8.6%
Consumption (Sales, alcohol, motor vehicle, etc) Taxes account for $41 billion (4.1% of GSP)
By comparison, Texas also receives $26 billion from the federal government, essentially a de facto state income tax.
So no, I wouldn't say they're similar at all. You'd have to double sales taxes just to cover the state's liabilities, and raise them by 6-7 fold to equal the federal level of spending.
