As I understand it Florida also doesn't have state income tax, so my question is where are they going to get the money to run the state?

[hatrack]

1. Sales tax, of course!!! Taste the Freedumb of the Sunshine State!!!

To say nothing of slashed or eliminated state services.

9. Tourists visiting will buy a $5 rat burger and pay $10 in taxes.

10. Except no one is going to floriduh

Tourism is in the gutter, snowbirds selling their houses....everyone with two functioning brain cells want out.

2. everything will be privatized

There won't be ANY taxes

Just lots of very hefty fees

3. Florida is in real trouble

Canadians and foreigners ain’t coming back, climate change issues, dysfunctional place to raise a family and political corruption. The real estate market is bad for sellers who can’t unload when they bought at the high prices. This shows real desperation by Death Santis and it ain’t gonna work.

11. He is following the trump playbook. One would hope it wouldn't work, but based on the pattern of behavior

of people in Florida and Texas voting against their own interests, I am not so sure.

4. Sky high

Sales taxes.

12. In Lee county it's currently 6.5%

5. They'll get the money from those who can least afford it

and cut those needed state and local services which ensures domestic tranquility and promotes the general welfare so that Chad and Karen can get a better refi rate on their winter dacha. Just a guess.

7. Those who can least afford it

Are working class homeowners in Blue states.

It's a monumental transfer of wealth.

6. They are planning

On getting money from the intolerable tax act from working class Americans in Blue States.

For reference - in NJ a single person in my region is eligible for subsidized housing when they make up to $85,920 . LOW income is $53,700.

That's rich in places like Mississippi.

Now apply it to a homeowner paying $8K to $11K in property taxes to fund their schools, pave their local roads, maintain and renovate their water/sewer infrastructure, pd, fd, etc. etc.

How it looks on paper is designed to engage in theft by states like Florida and take bread off the table of people in my borough.

Family of four (same table at the link) tiny cape code or small ranch home -
Moderate Income: $122,720
Low Income: $76,700

If they make $108K -$112K - they are getting fucked by the Magapublican voters in foreign states. Yes. I went there.

8. They nickel and dime you to death with fees in FL

Especially SOFL. And you get NOTHING for it. I'm sure it'll get worse.
