Also, a majority of our, or at least my, taxes are federal, as are many services, so of course that mutes the difference between states. Federal money subsidizes low tax states.
And the author isn’t on Medicaid.

i had federal jury duty last year. which is lame considering im exempt from STATE jury duty, but not federal. its like a 2-3 month term where you have to check in every friday to see if you have to go on monday… it’s kinda annoying, but i only got called twice and was immediately struck.
shes the one that attacked her attorney during court. the video went semi-viral… lol
also it’s “i think” significantly less common…
when i was prosecuting Domestic Violence cases, you would get maybe like 1 in 20 where the defendant was female and the victim was male. and i swear nearly all of them were like 21-24 yr old females and 45+ year old men… and it’s like you get what you ask for, she’s dating some middle aged paunchy dude 20 yrs older than her, there’s a good chance she hasn’t had exactly a normal upbringing…

Cops too probably
There’s also just the fact that a lot of the value rendered by the public service is not an obvious consumer good to Joe Public. Infrastructure that works is taken for granted, but is actually a monumental undertaking largely executed by the public sector. Like Texas’s total power system failure in 2021 killed a few hundred people. Is that entirely attributable to lower taxes? Well, no, of course not. Large problems are almost always resultant from a number of factors. But it’s the kind of risk that you get with your low taxes and tons of privatization that can be mitigated by a stronger (re: more expensive) public sector.
