[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow this thread actually brought out a very specific brand of DMV crazy, and have brought out the worst of the DMV’s judgemental “we are the center of the world” mentality. I’m both impressed and horrified. Assuming I don’t want to pay taxes is incorrect, I just think they are too high in Maryland and are being used VERY inefficiently. I’m happy to pay taxes but I’m not an evil person for wanting to pay a less rate. And guess what, Florida has the same infrastructure as MD, and where do they get the money from- taxes!

On another note, the Florida bashing on this thread is insane. Same with the constant assumption that any state with a Republican Governor is evil. What a crazy thing to do to equate an entire state with a short-lived political moment.

No one is assuming anything, you dimwit - you're moving to a state with no state income tax.

"Same with the constant assumption that any state with a Republican Governor is evil."

No one said this.  FFS, Maryland has a Republican Governor.  But Desantis is . . . well, a peculiar blend of stupid and crazy that Florida appears to revel in.

Not that this is going to matter to you, but Florida is a taker state - it receives more in federal aid than its citizens pay in federal income tax.  That's in large part because they can't pay for themselves, because . . . they have no state income tax.  A PP is right that it's a big electoral prize, so the spigot is unlikely to turn off.  But as I previously noted, at some point in the not too distant future, the rest of the country is going to lose its appetite for the constant rebuilding Florida requires.
