How do some states (TN, FL, etc) get by with having no income tax? Why can’t every state get rid of it?
In: Economics
Most of these comments are correct, they have other taxes (sales, property etc..) and generally less well regarded public services (schools, roads, etc…)
But let’s not forget the other main source of their revenue; The Federal Government.
That’s right, the socialist blue states subsidize the shit out most of the freedom states.
There are some exceptions, but by and large the states that are proud not to have an income tax and shitty infrastructure while decrying socialism are more than happy to take a handout from Uncle Sam.
Don’t tread on me. And don’t tell me to feel my school kids lunch. But also don’t forget my federal highway money.
