@PolicyEngineer @ProfSchleich Income tax is banned in Florida's constitution and would require a vote by over 60% to enact one.

Seeing you're from Connecticut it's not surprising you don't understand Florida

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ProfSchleich This makes it cheaper to own a house so it'll reduce the sale of homes and makes rent more expensive than owning a home.

You realize how contradictory that is? I know you're paid to lie about it but at least put in some effort.

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@HollyBullardFL 😱 people could buy homes with a payment less than rent. Omg. What a travesty

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 Yeah, because 3 years ago that's exactly where we were.

You're a special kind of stupid

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 Happily. Go to China or Cuba where the government runs everything and takes everything exactly how you want it

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 Are you saying our money belongs to the state? And if we keep more of what we earn the state is giving us "free money." You're 100% communist. Our money that we earn is ours and keeping instead of having it seized by the state isn't "free money"

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 @RikIronjaw Because that won't fix anything. This has been being discussed for 2-3 years. Pretending it's brand new is insane. This is about homeowners having to pay taxes to live in their home based on what the county decides it's worth. Millage rates doesn't accomplish that at all.

@NlGHTMARE3TWO @thecavedaddy If it's your personal home you only pay capital gains on profits greater than $500,000.

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@LondonRiverSFW Cutting taxes is leftist progressive policy now? Lmao

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@KlinglerRobin No, it's #1 for higher education and top 10 for pre-k through 12.

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 When the revenue has doubled in a the past few years, 10% isn't huge. I challenge you to go look at your local counties budget over the past few years and see what they're spending it on.

If you're really anti-communist but you sound very pro big government

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 @RikIronjaw Lmao, the tax rollback just paused future tax increases, that's the worst idea ever. Also in 2010, local property tax revenue dropped more than this change will. What services were cut then?

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 It affects the current revenue by 10%. Go do the math. This isn't the big deal the propaganda machine is saying it is.

How is an anti-communist shilling for taxes like this?

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 @RikIronjaw The Florida Constitution currently completely blocks the legislatiore from making any changes. Article VII, section 6 blocks any change to Homestead exemption. And article 1,2,3,4 & 9 block any other means of accomplishing it.

Seriously, do some research

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 As it should be. The counties revenue has doubled in the past few years. You can have a total phase out without lowering their total revenue. Look into the real numbers and not Internet propaganda.

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@ThisThatOther2 @RikIronjaw Go to your local county and look at their budget, what they have added in the past 5 years and then try to come up with 10% savings yourself. You'll probably find 30% honestly.

And it needs to be an amendment because the state can't create a law to do it.

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@HollyBullardFL The fact you are so hell bent on making homes unaffordable for the next generation is really something

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@HollyBullardFL @BeckSellsFla That is the dumbest most fear mongering take possible

[Matthew @MSkojr]

@HollyBullardFL That is patently false. Their budget is 8.75 billion so it would be 3.3%. Comparing it to just the school district is incredibly dishonest.
