Tolls are a scam. All the money that the gas tax generates should pay for the roads 10 times over but gets pissed away on non-transportation crap.

Yes, it is a scam.

It is a scam to rape tourist.

The reason Florida does not have an income tax is because of the Tolls and Sales taxes that get the non-residents that flood the state.

Don’t forget the “infamous” hotel/motel room tax, which is on top of the sales tax. Basically a user fee for the room.

But on the positive Florida w/o an income tax had a budget of $92.5 billion for 2018 for a state with a population of approx. 20.6 million. Compare that to New York or Washington state both liberal cesspools and one with a state income tax, the other no state income tax New York 2018 budget $171 billion for a state with est. population of 19.88 billion and Washington’s 2018 budget of $ 99.4 billion for state with est. population of 6.1 million.

I’d say Florida is pretty sound financially at present, even with the use taxes being plentiful.
