I'm guessing that Florida pays for things with all its tourist income on goods and services sold to them. We also have a state lottery and other types of gambling plus citrus and sugar cane is grown here in the more remote parts of the state. Florida does have a state sales tax that you pay when you buy most things, not unprepared food. It's 6% but some cities like Miami have an additional .5% sales tax to pay for public transportation.

California has a state income tax but it also has better state services then Florida like education and health care for the poor. The cost of living in California is fucking insane.

Whereas in NY, we have one of the higher state income taxes and sales tax so that we can afford to keep NYC clean and crime-free. Ha!

All hail the rust belt.

Cleo,
Ah I see. Amazing that .5% can actually pay for public transportation. Maybe we could learn something there.

Hehe... Whiner

My income tax is 44%, and every item you can buy in a store in Denmark has a 25% sales tax on it. Of course the sales taxes are not shown seperately... prices are just higher.

Yeah but it sucks. Actually it is just to pay for this bit of elevated train section that was built about 20 years ago plus another line that runs through downtown. It serves a very limited section of town.
