By Kidjr Go To PostI still can't believe florida has no income tax. I don't get why more people don't work thereThere's many states with no income tax and that doesn't mean you pay less in taxes.
They make it up via high sales taxes and property taxes, as an example.
It also means certain public goods and services don't get the same funding so there's certain quality of life trade-offs you make.
By Laboured Go To PostDon't listen to them Nigel, it's all upside baby!"We cut your taxes by $12.55"
"We will also will stop repairing roads"
"And don't forget that your childcare will increase by $450 per week"
"No, sorry, we don't offer public schools. Can we interest you in private school for $36,000 per year?"
By Kibner Go To Postdon't forget toll roads everywhere!are you thinking of another state
or unregulated, capitalistic energy grids!
By diehard Go To Postare you thinking of another stateIt's only a matter of time until Florida deregulates their energy grid lol

“Welp we’re evacuating for another cat 5 hurricane, but on the plus side it won’t be 95 degrees with 99 percent humidity when we do”
By Kidjr Go To PostI still can't believe florida has no income tax. I don't get why more people don't work thereMy sister in law moved from NY to Florida because she doesn’t want to pay taxes anymore.
But she’s coming back to NY for surgery because she has state insurance here and gets it done cheaper here than if she stayed in Florida because she would have to pay $3000+.
slaent, I spot an HOA violation from my perch by the window, a neighbor in a nearby home has not brought in their trashcan. Pickup was Monday. Please advise.
There's nothing more American than acting like the lack of an income tax will make up for how much you're fleeced on every other tax as well as a lack of social services, public utilities and decent fucking infrastructure.
There's a solid difference between wanting to see your taxes do something and fiscal transparency and then just being in utter denial about it all and thinking private insurance, private healthcare, private utilities and private this or that along with regressive sales taxes and the like is actually better. But we're dipshits who have been brainwashed into thinking less transparency and being charged based on arbitrary and ever increasing market forces are actually just fine.

He was the deciding vote that prevented a public option from being included in the ACA as he refused to provide the final 60th vote.

Man fuck that. As someone who has been on medicaid I'm glad my ambulance rides and ER visits didn't eat away at my meager savings at the time. In debt because I dared to have a medical emergency in public and got whisked away in an ambulance is just unfathomable to me. The ER visit alone would cost me thousands now since I'm no longer a part time worker who qualifies for that, Providence, Legacy, Kaiser would all come calling about "where's our cut." Insane to me people can defend private health insurance when expanded Medicaid was a boon for me then. Should they have better health facilities and better dental/eye plans? Sure. The reason they suck shit now is because how the system is already run.
By diehard Go To PostI'll take the private option thanks.You've never seen a public option, how could you possibly compare? You know nothing! NOTHING!
I've seen too much
It's really sad for the brits how the Tories basically fuck their NHS on purpose in order to then propose private options. It's such a game. Conservative interests coming into power, literally throwing wrenches in the works of good public services/utilities and then saying "see it doesn't work this is why we need privately run organizations instead." Self-fulfilling fucking prophecies. It's also no coincidence we and the brits have a bunch of crap that can be traced all the way back to the New Deal/Post WWII and decades well before New Labor or Third Way Dems.
