Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced what has been described as the “largest tax relief proposal” in the Sunshine State’s history, which includes permanent sales tax relief on baby and toddler necessities, gas stoves, and more.
Speaking in Marion County, DeSantis briefly highlighted the state of affairs economically in Florida, noting that the state has one of the lowest per capita tax burdens in the country and no income tax while promising to “keep it that way.”

No matter who you are or who you favor, ya gotta like this from a proactive governor!!
Florida has been growing its population size, meaning that, they have been taking in more in sales taxes and property taxes, thereby growing the amount of taxes collected.
Which means that they can give back some of that tax money.
Other states, like NY anc California, have been losing population, thereby decresasing their tax base. They can’t afford to give back any taxes, and in fact, will have to increase the tax rates or come up with new taxes, or become more dependent on the federal government to return some of the federal taxes collected.
All good ideas, but targeted, which, as always, technically picks winners and losers. How about just knocking a point off the general sales tax instead?
Florida at 5 percent. Wooooo-hooooo!
Alot of states benefitted from the federal covid cash, unsure if florida had federal funds extra, etc.
Good! Let's see them compete on the basis of reducing the size, scope, power, and cost of government. Returning to We the People control over our own lives, families, finances, and retirement is a good thing.
I suspect the reason why they are going much farther than Florida is because they were much further behind Florida in the first place.
You obviously don't understand the function and the scope of AI. Look at ChatGPT as an example and tell me honestly if you think our technical bureaucrats and political minions would even dream of writing AI code so as to lower taxes.
What a laugh.
Eric Coomer of Dominion Voting Systems is a Satan Worshipper.
That may not matter to those who are non-Judeo-Christian followers, but it effects values and ethics.
Coomer is on record stating his machines could never be accessed or connected externally. He was proven wrong.
Here’s a short video of Coomer lying straight-faced to police in Colorado:

In my opinion, he is mentally deranged.
Dominion sued those claiming their involvement in election tampering because it’s a leftist tactic to wage lawfare against those who stand in the way.
The Satan worship aspect extends to Smartmatic which was software left from Soros-owned Diebold machines. Soros is an avowed atheist. The CEO of Smartmatic is Antonio Mujica, a Venezuelan Satan worshipper. Smartmatic installed Hugo Chavez as dictator though election fraud using Smartmatic election software in the Diebold machines.
Mujica’s protege is Heidar Garcia, a Venezuelan who worked 12 years for Smartmatic in Panama. The Panama Canal is largely controlled by the CCP.
By his longtime residence and status in Panama, Heidar Garcia was allowed a green card to the United States where he came and settled in Tarrant County, TX. Today, Garcia is the Tarrant County Elections Director.
The infiltration runs much deeper.
Here are a couple of names associated with FL that you should do a deep dive on:
Marianne W Gaige
Mark Earley
FL is very infiltrated as is TX, NC, GA and every state to various extents, even pro-military SC.
desantis ran for reelection for florida governor last year (2022)...
his opponent was “globalist” charlie crist...
are you suggesting we made the wrong choice and should’ve voted for the “globalist” charlie crist?...
I’m not sure what your point is. ChatGPT is not the AI standard. It is a tabloid headline taker. It’s not as important as it is made out to be. Headlines are created to stir emotions and fear to drive views. ChatGPT serves that purpose.
AI can be used for good effects or for subversive effects. The AI in development for government functions is not the subversive type.
AI is already operating in many applications such as airline reservation systems. It has tremendous benefits and efficiencies.
ChatGPT is just the first of what will be many AI platforms, over time they will be refined and become even more powerful, as competition will drive it.
What? Did I mention DeSantis?
I am pointing out that Florida is not alone by any means in pushing tax reform. That’s a very good thing.
If you want to discuss the duplicity of politicians, I suggest you check out other threads. This thread is about state tax reform. If I am wrong, let me know.
That’s correct.
There will be a conservative-based AI platform, guaranteed. In fact, I know of one in development now.
I'll believe that when I see it.
AI is already operating in many applications such as airline reservation systems. It has tremendous benefits and efficiencies.
That may be true, but this point is irrelevant to our discussion on how AI would be used politically to reduce taxes.
“For example, renewing a diverr’s license can be handled by AI allowing clerks who retire to not have to be replaced.”
We have had on-line renewal for years and it is not AI.
i was referring to all of your post #27...
not just the last paragraph...
I still don’t see your point. Already mentioned DMV as a prime area for AI to develop. In fact, it’s already in work in several states in their RFPs for development contracts.
The premise is that efficiencies created by AI systems will allow state workforce ranks to be reduced through attrition, thus allowing for state budgets to shrink.
It appears you’re trying your best to find an argument without basis. ChatGPT is not and will not be a government AI platform. It is a headline designed to be sensational to drive views, nothing more.
Everything in #27 is factual about Dominion Voting Systems and their competitors. They all stem from Smartmatic which is still under control of the Soros-owned Quantum Group operating in Grand Cayman.
The full extent of DeSantis’s involvement is unknown to me.
However, the names at the bottom of #27 have involvement that is documented.
But you are correct that Dominion Voting Systems should not be a topic of discussion on this thread. This thread is about state tax reform. I should not have contributed information about Dominion in response to #18. My mistake.
I guess you don't. Because our recent conversations have had nothing to do with ChatGPT. I've been focusing on refuting your claim that AI will be a benefit to government. So why are YOU bringing up ChatCPT here?
It appears you’re trying your best to find an argument without basis. ChatGPT is not and will not be a government AI platform.
(All I originally did upthread was draw a valid comparison between ChatGPT and AI. But after that I made no more remarks concerning ChatGPT. Right?)
Very true!
The big surprise was AZ getting a 2.5% flat tax.
ok... we’re good... 😁
