Bull****. Go look at the property taxes of other states, especially the states without an income tax and tell me they are getting screwed. And I can practically guarantee you that the ones moving down from the NE are getting a veritable bargain on property taxes.
Sorry, it's only the whiners and the class warriors who are complaining the most.

Why is it right to charge taxes that are 2-4 times higher for people that buy homes than people that already own homes?
Your rational that the upper tier of this two tiered tax system is appropriate because these people were paying more in their previous state is completely without logical foundation. Two different homes that each have a market value of $200K should have the same property taxes. Your logic is that taxes should be assesed based on who owns the home.
Based on that thinking, any other criteria can be valid. For example, liberals are the cause of excessive government spending, thus the cause of higher taxes. Ipso facto, registered Democrats should pay 50% greater rate in property taxes than Republicans. So should smokers. Non Florida residents should pay 10% sales tax instead of 6%. How about higher electric rates? And so on ad nauseum.
This is nothing more than petty class warfare. Straight out of the liberal's playbook. Plain and simple it is "targeted taxes" for "payback".
People that expect equal treatment under the law are "whiners"?
I suggest that you refrain from talking about something you obviously know nothing at all about.
