I'm back. How's Orlando? :dunno:
Just like the last time you pasted through....congested with traffic, run by crooked, idiotic County and City officials, horrible planning, nasty, no class people who don't know the word courtesy, more crime than you could shake a stick at, some of the worst public schools in the country.....but hey if you want a sh!tty low paying job it has tons of those. Somehow though out west of town there is an oasis where only good god fearing, high income earning, and generally only model citizens live according to URG....

It's not just the traffic that makes the place suck. It's also the 6.5-7% tourist tax.

I'm no freakin' tourist.
6.5-7% is a pretty run of the mill tax level.

Tennessee has upwards of 9.25%, but the property taxes are also really cheap, among other taxes.

In my experience, property taxes here have been average to high average, but never seemed outrageous to me, certainly not like some of those liberal states.

And of course, we have no state income.

Generally speaking, considering all of the taxes, in most places, they tend to even out, though I do like the way Tennessee structures it a little better.

You really should drink less, or get laid more. You're all backed up.

But yea, generally speaking, I can't say I run into all the BS you just spewed so much where I live. Of course, I don't live in the worst part of town with shiity infrastructure, because it's so old, nor in the area where dumbass tourists get lost...that's your neighborhood bro. But by all means, I suppose it's my fault that you make poor life choices.

Go take a Xanax or something, you really need it.

Is it charged on all purchases? That can add up quickly. We don't have a tourist tax in Tampa Bay. I'd rather do without it.

You guys are hilarious. I wish you'd fight more often.

Depends. The flat state tax is 6%, and then municipalities can up it as much as 1.5% over that, but most places only do .5%, sometimes 1% over the state rate.
And across the entire state, groceries don't get sales tax, unless they are prepared foods.

What about car purchases? That would suck on top of sales tax.

Hey Crete, in all seriousness, what kind of businesses do you run? You can PM me if you don't want to say it here.

I asked you for a job?
Bro, I asked what kind of businesses you run. Get over yourself :lol:

Nah, I'm genuinely curious about what type of businesses you run.

And, well, you do kinda live right on top of the ghetto bro lol

I don't really run much of anything I just do whatever my wife tells me to. She owns the largest single office Title Agency, at least our Underwriter tells us it is, in the state. I work there part time doing title searches, proofing policies and handle all of the B.S that comes from owning a couple of commercial properties as well as residential rentals.....which means when something goes wrong I call someone to fix it....Oh and besides those things my most important responsibility is dropping off and picking up our son from the private school we have to send him to since we live in the failing ghetto school district known as Orange County.....
