Granted the people who pay no fed income tax...no real estate tax etc. and of course no state (fla) income tax are at least paying something. I'm guessing a very large percentage of us are unaware of this kinda ( hidden) tax. I wonder why the politicians never mention this kinda (hidden) tax ?

It also means that Plutocrats and Corporatist, including those who own businesses in Florida but don't live here, will be taking their tax savings and giving themselves a raise.
