@JeffreyBrandes I enjoy our freedom of speech and how you use it, however I think you'd need to slip something in my drink to convince me the smartest choice is to keep paying all the property tax.
@AbakpaJob They'll do just like they did with income tax, get us to pass the law against the rich, then a few years later They'll do it to the rest of us too because now they have legal precedent
@OddStockTrader I'm baffled by people trying to form rationale on this, its like they have no idea how humanity moves ideas forward. They would of never got on the ship to America like their ancestors did because they just can't
@FloridaPolicy You have to believe the local governments use the 50% increase in property taxes they've received in the past few years with 100% efficiency to believe this fear mongering.
@DavidKahoun24 Its an incorrect evaluation, wrong side of functionality to examine. Practical is a minivan, small truck or a rickshaw. Outside of that every American vehicle is impractical. Id argue not seeing that is blind to innovation and how vehicles exist in America.
@BernieSanders raising minimum wage doesn't increase the affordability of things, it's a stunt, the economy will correct for the change because the economy doesn't care about feelings or nice to haves.
@mayordcreeves seems like a stalling tactic that would make sure the tax cut never saw the light of day by doing a multi-year (if we were lucky) impact study. I do agree one size doesn't fit all, look at minimum wage for examples of that.
@RoKhanna Allow this sort of tax on billionaires, and they'll do it to you next. They always do, as soon as you say it's ok. That's why we have income tax, they sold us on it was only going to tax the rich. So we voted it in, then they put that shackle around our necks.
A tariff is optionally added to the price, companies could decide to eat it because they have enough profit. That is the same hope with corporate income tax, they could eat the loss, or add it to the market price to offset their losses. Most companies won't eat the loss of a tariff, and they don't suddenly forget how to handle losses when it comes to income tax. Just like a citizen who needs 100k to survive each year will learn to make more than 100k to offset income tax. It's basic math.
@JeffreyBrandes I would argue if a citizen of citrus county can argue which services to adjust to handle their money better, they should run for office there. Nobody would argue that there aren't things the government can or should spend their budget on, so their backlog is never going away.
@ewarren You can't do universal childcare without rampant fraud. Your only plan to handle fraud is to pretend it doesn't exist or blame someone else. We need real thought out solutions.
