This state will never eliminate the income tax. We couldn't even lower the sales tax (even though there was a plan out to do so by implementing a 1% sales tax on currently exempt items). People who say they are leaving this state due to tax policy aren't being honest. I'm sure there are MANY more reasons to move to Florida other than tax policy. Of course we should look at ways to LOWER the income tax, but if people tell you they can eliminate it they aren't being honest in this debate. If you lower the income tax you need a plan to get back the lost revenue, (aka something else is going up in price). Anytime someone has an idea for how to make up lost revenue it is attacked. Until people stop throwing politics into every single issue that comes up in this state, then we are forever going to be in trouble. We need to stop sending the same people back to the General Assembly and expecting something different to happen. We need to listen to candidates rather than voting for the guy that knows your neighbor. We need to wake up and change the direction in this state or else we lose the right to complain about where we are.
