Theft is an unlawful taking. Taxes are lawful. Therefore, taxes are not theft.
The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution gives the States the power to tax. The State Constitutions give the counties, etc, the power to tax.

All that said, feel free to move to where there are no personal and property taxes. Bahrain, Monaco, and Oman do not have personal taxes and do not have property taxes. Which one will you move to? Happiness can be yours. :)

Theft is an unlawful taking. State taxes are made lawful by the 10th amendment to the US Constitution and the various State Constitutionfederal taxes are made legal by the
Taxes are therefore not theft.
The 16th Amendment made federal taxes legal.

It is the exact opposite. A $100,000 car has $10,000 tax bill at a 10% sales tax rate. A $10,000 car only has a $1,000 tax bill

According to you, the guy who paid $9,000 less in taxes is paying more in taxes. Yes, that is as silly as it sounds when written plainly.

The worst idea ever. It would put all local funding in the hands of the state to save $350. One city ****es off the governor he cuts funding to force them to toe the line.

How will the local taxing entities be supported if you do away with property taxes? Will never happen IMHO.

I have to disagree with this. When you purchased your home, you surely knew that the property was subject to annual real estate taxes. Therefore, you implicitly agreed to "the contract" by following through with the sale.

The same applies to almost any other tax. You know when you walk into a store that FL imposes a 7% sales tax, so by buying you agree to "the contract" to pay that tax. Just bc you don't like the tax doesn't mean you don't agree to pay it.

The whole Florida low tax miracle is built upon screwing over tourists and non-residents with high taxes. Why should anything change? Florida can do this because of its location. Move it north a few degrees in latitude and it would be another Mississippi.

Not true because you have no choice. You have to live somewhere. If you rent a place, the taxes are built into the rent. If you want to build a place out of lumber, you cut off your own property somehow that piece of **** taxman still shows up to get his cut. If you wanna live in a tent, you gotta pay taxes on the tent. There are simply nothing you can do to put a roof over your head and not pay tax. Therefore, you are being held hostage into a contract you didn’t sign up for.
