New Perspective on Texas

Introduction

Texas is the second largest state of the United States of America, located in the Southern region. Bordered on south by Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, and the U.S. states of Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico to the east, north and west respectively. The capital of Texas is Austin.

Tax Revenue Raised Per Capita

Per capita income (or GNI per capita income or per capita), is defined as gross national income (GNI) for a year, divided by the total population, for a country or region. The population has increased fivefold between 1860 and 1900. The change accelerated after 1900. Texas has become one of the Member States the most industrialized thanks to oil discovered for the first time at Spindletop in 1901. The Second World War led to the emergence of aviation and electronics. The image of an immensely rich Texas has crossed the twentieth century, however it was hit by the oil crash of 1986, so the per capita income today is lower than the national average and reveals wide disparities within the state. The per capita income of taxas is income of the lowest USA, 20 000 per year but many live here on less than $ 500 per month.
