Re: Idiots
said by RadioDoc  :...I don't know which is worse tax-wise. You don't have to search far for the answer.
Ad valorem rates and intangibles are included in ones annual tax bill. I don't recall the specific rates but I think almost half goes to the schools.
In Florida there is not state income tax, sales tax is 7% for my county. I work with someone who is from Illinois, her home here is 2000 sq ft (garage not included) with a swimming pool. Her property taxes were approximately $1800. Her mother owns a 2000 sq ft home in Illinois (no pool) and pays nearly $6000 a year in property tax. |

| Yeah I'm quite familiar with both states, thank you. I pay taxes in both. Real estate in desirable areas is much more expensive up here as well. 2000 sq. ft. where I live will run you $1/2 million and up.
My point was more aimed at that insipid "blue state" comment. There is no state with a monopoly on picking their residents' pockets, and the Federal government is where they go when they turn pro.

| Just for the record the two states that are the subject of this article are blue states so my original observation is accurate. At least until a red state joins in.
If I offended you with a truthful observation, I apologize.
Just because you don't like the "blue state" comment doesn't make it insipid. The fact that people responded proves otherwise. If there were no responses then I would agree it is insipid.
