Contrary to what the libs will tell you, state taxes do factor into a lot of people’s decision on where they’ll live. They can add up, a lot. I moved to Florida several years ago mainly to avoid state taxes and it’s one of the best things I’ve done. It’s saved me $20-30K a year depending upon what I earned that year, and I don’t make anywhere near NFL player money.
Can you imagine how much Rush saved over the years by living in Florida?
No state estate tax, too.
