Amendment 3 isn't a tax cut. It's a $12 billion tax shift.
Cutting property taxes for some homeowners doesn't make the cost of roads, deputies and firefighters go away. Someone still has to pay billions a year. Under Amendment 3, it's renters, young families, small businesses and new buyers, who are the people who never got the tax cut.
The Tax Foundation's new analysis shows who pays:
🔴 Renters. They get no tax cut. A third of Floridians rent, and nearly half do in Miami-Dade. When landlords' taxes go up, research shows half or more gets passed on in rent.
🔴 Young families and first-time buyers. Picture two identical houses on the same street. One owner gets a $250,000 exemption. The other bought in 2027 and gets $50,000 for five years. That gap can easily mean $2,000 or more a year, for the same house and the same services.
🔴 Police, fire and EMS. They get zero guaranteed funding. Rural counties like Bradford, Dixie, Lafayette and Union are already at the constitutional tax limit, so they can't raise rates. They'll have to cut services or add fees.
🔴 Everyone, eventually. The $12 billion figure doesn't include the Legislature's new power to exempt homesteads entirely. State economists say that cost can't even be estimated.
🔴 Future voters. This goes into the constitution, so fixing the damage will take another statewide campaign.
Homeowners, even if you'd save, the money comes back around. You'll see it in new fees and special assessments, higher prices from local businesses, and fewer deputies and firefighters when you need them.
Yes, local government spending deserves serious scrutiny. But reducing property taxes doesn't automatically reduce government spending. Without corresponding spending cuts, the costs may simply shift to renters, young families, and small businesses through higher taxes, fees, and assessments.
This isn't tax relief. It's a tax shift.

Letting Leftist aggressors know that if they start a civil war that we'll be ready to finish it is not "calling for a civil war."
It's warning bad people not to start one.
I wish everyone could understand the difference.
@JBPritzker Stop layering the ground work for color revolution you piece of manure!! We all know you meet and agreed to the participation of it! Your trying to convince thru lies the American people who dont know, and are easily convinced with your bullshit lies!
If we want to stop the gay retarded coup these freaks are planning, it's going to take more than talking about it on X.
It has to leave this app and get out into the real world.
You beat a criminal organization by countering it with a better one. The Trump administration and every one of our justice agencies have to get proactive on this, because these people do NOT care that we know.
They're going ahead anyway.
I believe it's already in motion. The only way through now is to win these midterms HUGE, then keep exposing every piece of this color revolution as it unfolds.
It's all bullshit, lies, and propaganda, but it can't just live here on X. It has to get OUT there.
November 3rd. Vote. 🇺🇸🔥💪
There is a literal coup against President Trump being plotted as we speak.
1,600+ former USAID employees, military, state dept diplomats, & foreign policy officials are planning violence for after the midterms.
If Democrats win the House & Senate, the plot will be activated.
DSA “foot soldiers” will take to the streets, instigating violence clashes with Trump law enforcement agents.
They intend their violence to provoke Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act.
If Trump invokes that law, the thugs plan to seize power from the federal govt in a “doomsday scenario” deletimizing the federal govt and giving power to Democrat governors in blue states.
Then they plan to impose their “structural reforms” on the country. A “refounding” they call it. They mean impose communism on you.
They also plan for a “breakthrough” to happen to take Trump out between now and Jan 3.
This plot appears to be the brainchild of color revolution experts like Erica Chenoweth, and others who worked at USAID.
Honestly it BLOWS MY MIND that some people are gonna sit out the midterms. Not vote. Are you crazy?
Literal communists who hate you and want to kill you are plotting to overthrow our govt, steal your vote and topple the president you elected.
Who, by the way, is THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY who has successfully obliterated USAID, the institution that produces these color revolutions aimed at YOU.
I get it, gas prices are too high. For sure.
But are you out of your mind to throw away your midterm vote when the choice is between USAID thugs who are trying to stage a violent coup and topple our country and President Trump who DOGE’d USAID and cut off the funding that went from USAID to the NGOs that pay for the left wing color revolutions aimed at you???
I truly don’t get how anyone could skip voting in the midterms.
I’d crawl over broken glass to give Trump’s agenda to dismantle the deep state two more years.
And, you know, save our country and civilization from the violent death of communism.
Just think, you wouldn’t even know about this coup plot if not for @DataRepublican. You might have skipped your vote, handed Congress to the Democrats and suddenly faced… revolutionary communist violence.
