People earning low wage aren’t buying that much cause most of their money they use to survive. If you don’t buy nothing you don’t get taxed. Plus they get all federal income tax they pay in due to their low income.
So they not taxed as much as wealthy. Most likely they are public assistance which wealthy paying for?
I will Amit Florida property tax in some area’s for what have (lower income villagers that can own home)(like Marion county) can be OUTRAGEOUS.
