So what

He's a millionaire so still has plenty left

He should think himself lucky for earning so much on something like sport which isn't a useful skill for society.

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.
