How else will the county and towns get significant tax revenue from you in a way that cannot be easily avoided?

Sugar tax (on sugary drinks - i.e. sodas, etc
Alcohol tax
In Philadelphia - the sugar tax is 1.5 cents per ounce
Alcohol tax is 10%
In ‘NY, the alcohol tax is
Beer 14¢/gal. state, plus NYC 12¢; Still and sparkling wine 30¢/gal. (natural); Spirits <24% $1.70 per liter state, plus 26¢; Spirits >24% 67¢ per liter
Sumter county will absolutely replace their property tax with a 10% tax on alcohol.
They only need to replace the property taxes for the full timers.
