[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guess people should get ready for their state and local taxes to raise.

Further, infrastructure investment is something Democrats have been calling for which is why they created whole funding and programs for it last administration. Becuase you know helping states and the country make sustainable infrastructure investments is good for everyone.

Not sure why we need another review though when ACoR, FEMA, DOT and state agencies  can already answer most questions.[/quote]

States like Florida should not have no income tax and then rely on the Feds to bail them out each and every year for hurricanes. Raise their taxes. [/quote]
California too. [/quote]

California has a graduated income tax system with rates ranging from 1% to 13.3%. The state also has a sales tax rate of 7.25%, in addition to local taxes, and an average property tax rate of about 0.68% of a home's assessed value.[/quote]

California can get away with that because they have the best weather in the country and a highly-skilled labor pool that can justify high salaries (which are taxes) from employers.

And even then, people are still fleeing California due to the high COL.

In Florida, the average salaries are much lower, so an income tax would not be as effective anyway.

It make more sense in the Florida economy to use its beaches and Disney World to pay for  stuff.

And yet, Florida is a leader in climate change denial.[/quote]
