Oh you pay taxes on them alright, through the corporations that sell them paying taxes on their profits. BTW, in New Mexico you would pay gross receipts tax on groceries, medical and legal bills, literally any service you pay for or item you buy. Its gross receipts tax is essentially a sales tax on steroids and one of the reasons NM has failed to attract businesses and otherwise develop.
Oh, I almost forgot. NM taxes social security, too!
