Florida just ended PROPERTY taxes, so now the rich don't have to pay state income taxes OR property taxes on their big estates.

So how do we pay for police, fire department, education, roads, etc.? They didn't bother to discuss that at all, they just passed it.

So INTELLIGENT rich people understand that Florida is about to be a state full of uneducated people, poor police presence, crumbling infrastructure, and worse. It won't be long before desperate people realize where all the money is, and know that police response will be slow.

Better to move to a city on the rise, like NYC, and live where the Police Commissioner is a billionaire nepo-baby, who sees her primary job as protecting the wealthy.

What's that old saying, taxes buy you civilization or something along those lines.
