Florida is now one of the most financially stressed states in the country, second only to another Southern state, according to a new report by WalletHub, which defines financial distress as having credit in forbearance or deferring payments due to financial difficulty.
“When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said about the findings.
While it’s a nice sentiment it runs into the rather awkward problem that states don’t actually pay any taxes. People and businesses pay taxes, not states. Exactly who is going to protect the citizens of a state when the IRS comes down on them for not paying their federal taxes?
2nd amendment time I guess. We protect our communities and state from tyranny
Ok. You first.
That has always been the problem with the 2a crowd from either side. Momentum. The first few ten or hundred or thousand are considered crazy wildcards and psychopaths.
Luigi may be a patron saint to a lot of people, but ain’t nobody stepping up without more momentum. And it never showed up.
This isn’t any different, and that’s why it doesn’t work yet. Pay your taxes. Use the rest on things you support. Take that tax write off to give the gov a little less and donate to causes that are important. Get in arguments and talk politics at the bar and with your family, but put the guns away. It doesn’t help. So enough of it.
Momentum is what’s important.
Because they are.
