“We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” Patel said in a recent interview with Steve Bannon, referring to the 2020 presidential election. “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly. We’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.”

Lmao “we don’t know what you did, or how you did it, or how we’ll hold you accountable, but now you’re on notice!!”

That can be taken as he’s against all that stuff

Is today opposite day?

In what reading could you possibly take this that way

You think OP has a lot more power than they actually do if you’re attributing their actions to perpetuating the Palestinian genocide…

The real estate is cheaper in many parts of Florida because the demand to live there is much lower than whichever part of Oregon you’re coming from. The desirable parts of Florida are much more expensive. Anyway, enjoy the sunshine and hurricanes.

The numbers that guy cited include federal income taxes and Medicare/SS taxes

Again, you’re saying you’re going to save $1K a month in income taxes, but that doesn’t account for the 6% sales tax you’re going to be paying on everything you buy, or the higher property taxes.

The cost of living in FL is going to vary dramatically depending on where you go, there are many areas that are even more expensive than anywhere in Oregon. Also, you’re going to struggle to find homeowners insurance and will be at high risk of catastrophic weather, which costs money to repair/replace your home and vehicle. And honestly the culture is awful in many of the parts of FL I’ve been to

The map I shared is the total average state and local tax burden by state, accounting for all forms of taxes. My point is the total tax burdens in Florida and Texas are only marginally lower than Oregon, so if you move to Florida, you’re going to discover you really aren’t going to save much money in the end, because you’re not Jeff Bezos liquidating $50 million in stock on a whim

Those numbers you just cited are the total effective state and federal income tax rates, and only the income tax rates. It doesn’t account for property taxes or sales taxes, which is how states without income taxes fund their governments. Oregon has no sales tax, for example, but in Texas we have a 7% state sales tax. Texas’s median property tax rate is more than double Oregon’s too.

State and local effective tax rate

Oregon: 10.8% Texas: 8.6% Florida: 9.1%

The reason there’s such a crusade against income tax coming from the right is because property and sales taxes are much more regressive, shifting much of the tax burden to people who have lower incomes and letting the wealthiest keep more of their money. In the end, the total average tax burden is roughly the same in most states, it’s who pays that tax burden that’s different.

I think every state should have an income tax and eliminate or reduce sales and property taxes. I think every state should implement capital gains taxes too. The wealth inequality in the US is out of control

Dude, I just explained how what I said relates to this article. It wasn’t at all random. Hope you have a great night and get to set that phone down soon

Every state has taxes. I live in Texas and we have property taxes out the ass. The total effective tax rate difference between Texas and Oregon is something like 2%. The difference is even smaller between Oregon and Florida
