Tell that to the millions living in Florida. No, I don't blame the Democrats, it's the Republican legislature that has done this. The property tax hike on Floridians is robbery (should I spell that last word out and it's meaning?)

Ok, now let's add this 31% tax hike on now to those households that earn just above 35k per year.

As many have said here, 'they' are pushing us out of our state. Republicans or Democrats, what the heck is going on?

        Wealth does not equal income. How much of the country is theirs? (n/t) - alcaray - 10/26/2007 6:09:57 AM
        
        Maybe we need to scrap all Sales, Use, and income taxes and go to nothing but Property taxes then... - TAFKASE - 10/26/2007 4:06:52 PM

        yes, I would support a Sales tax ONLY if it gave a rebate to those deemed "poor" - TAFKASE - 10/25/2007 9:37:57 PM
- Boo hiss! - Eri - 10/25/2007 1:47:50 PM
