The United States is kind of a micro example. Federal taxes are uniform of course, but state taxes and services are not. Retirees tend not to move to high tax, high social services spending states, they tend to do the opposite: move away from California, New York, etc to Arizona, Florida, etc to live less expensively, even if there's fewer services.
