See my post #9 - FL is now in its 16th consecutive month of job GROWTH.

Yup. My county is 4.7% and my phone is ringing off the hook. (Construction related)

I assume you're a Florida resident. I'd love to see a comparison of the taxes paid by Florida resident and California residents.

The California income tax rate goes up to 9.3%

The California sales tax ranges from 7.75% to 8.75%

The California car registration tax is 2% of the value of the car - I will be paying over $600 for my new Chevy Avalanche in October.

The California property tax is 1% of the assessed value of the property, but cannot increase by more than 2%/year (Prop 13).

Can you provide comparable info on Florida?

Thanks!!
