After reports that married MSNBC anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have been mysteriously broadcasting their show from Florida sources speculated that the location is to benefit Scarboroughs tax situation.
The Morning Joe anchors have been reportedly on a home set in Jupiter, Fla., but using Washington, DC, backdrops.
Sources said the reason for the locale was a tax dodge albeit a completely legal one since Scarborough has a home in Florida and would need to spend a certain amount of the time there for any tax benefit.
Mika just goes along for the ride, a source said.
Scarborough, whos still presently registered to vote in Connecticut., on Oct. 9, 2018 registered to vote in Palm Beach County, Fla. according to public records.
He listed no party affiliation.
By moving to Florida, hed reduce his tax burden by roughly $550,000. Scarborough reportedly makes $8 million a year and would pay 6.99-percent state income tax in Connecticut, while theres no state income tax in Florida, the Posts Josh Kosman reports. To qualify as a Florida resident, hed need to be there 183 days a year.

...he can give billions in tax cuts to the richest millionaires and billionaires. Welcome to Trump/Bannon's screwed up populism. (2/2)— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) March 13, 2017
@mistabaka We should abolish the tax loopholes and cut military spending. But that alone won't resolve America's longterm debt crisis.— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) July 8, 2011
@milo9 The question is how do we make millionaires pay their fair share. I believe the conventional wisdom in Washington is wrong.— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) November 29, 2012
To the first pro-Trump/Putin hack that says this one cherry picked tax return settles the tax issue for good:
Not even close. https://t.co/NLBVPJhwg6— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) March 15, 2017
The Trump camp released one positive tax return to distract from Russia hearings and the Trumpcare meltdown. That's painfully obvious. https://t.co/NLBVPJhwg6— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) March 15, 2017
@bobcesca_go The average millionaire pays 18% in taxes. Raising rates may not be as effective in generating revenue as closing loopholes.— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) April 21, 2011

Joe: Dead interns, consorts with whores, dodges taxes he demands others pay. Decent enough though to leave the Republican Party
But, but, but - aren’t they both tax the rich redistribute the wealth money all belongs to the government lefties - do as I say, not as I do.....
The tax strategy behind Joe and Mikas Florida studio
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3723219/posts
The Morning Schmoe rants against tax cuts and loopholes for millionaires but uses a FL studio to get a $550k cut in taxes. Oooo!
Joe why are you being a tax evader? You guys call people who do this tax evaders. Joe, you are the evil rich you go on to bash about being greedy with their money.
holy moly , is that CIA money?
Wait is this the guy with the dead naked intern?
That's what all the limousine liberal tax avoiders say.
I'm sure she does.

*****************************************************************
Before Trumps tax changes (effective 2018) that $550,000 was tax deductible for computing federal taxes thus the federal taxpayers across the nation were, in effect, subsidizing Scarboroughs state taxes. With Trumps changes only the first $10,000 of the state and local taxes are federally deductible thus minimizing the subsidy of Connecticuts residents payment of their state taxes.
I dont blame them from fleeing Connecticut and its high (and no longer subsidized) state and local taxes. Many more will be following.
Tax breaks?
Or nookie breaks?
They can just slip into their bedroom instead of slipping into the broom closet at the DC Studio during commercial breaks
You are welcome for the imagery
The Silk Pony Edwards tried to dodge Medicare Taxes and John F’n Kerry not only hid his Yacht in RI to avoid MA Taxes, but his Accountants chose to pay a lower State Tax Rate than “volunteer” to pay a higher Rate on the MA Tax Forms.
I don’t think anyone would blame Joe or any ‘joe’ for avoiding a higher tax. It’s that he criticizes others who do the same.
I can’t imagine it’s much of a ride.
So, I wonder what Joe uses for an excuse when he’s late to work ?
>>>I dont blame them from fleeing Connecticut and its high (and no longer subsidized) state and local taxes<<<
I blame them for not living up to their beliefs with their Progressive Tax BS. Hypocritical Commie DemoncRats, nothing more, nothing less.
Makes $8 million a year with the dumbest show on cable TV. Complains about income inequality.

They must both have to put bags over their heads.
And, Joe would love to be president. He and the tramp certainly have the ego to ponder holding an office, (I think they may be bored with their show, anyway) and could use Broward County types who are still hanging chads around Florida.
Communists are always the most greedy people on the planet. They are only good at wasting other people’s money.
