It's just a thought but I always had the impression that there were other states cheaper than Florida taxwise. And I am still trying to figure out why this 'tax the rich' by a federal government has anything to do with a state.
If I seem like I don't understand it's because I listen to too much news radio in Ontario and they seem to revert to federal initiatives and ignore the rest of the plot. >:( |

Florida has no personal income tax.
The statewide sales tax rate is 6% but counties can add surtaxes. In Orlando you might pay as much as 10% on a hotel room. Counties levy property taxes. Last year Tiger Woods paid $77,000 in property tax on his $3.7 million home. California was broke and raised all of its taxes last year. This article seems to have been written before the increases.
