No, the sales tax in Fort Lauderdale (and the rest of Broward County) is only 6.00%

You are right. I don't know what made me say that. It's been 6% for as long as I have lived here (10 years).

This is why Florida's economy is in such a mess. No state income tax, only sales tax and property tax. Now that consumers aren't buying half as much and businesses are failing left and right and the housing market dropped 50% since 2005, there is no floor to prevent the ceiling from crashing down.

Have you lived in NY or CA where income and sale tax rate are approaching 10% level? Their economy are worse than ours.

Florida's economy downturn has nothing to do with low tax rate.

More taxation is not the solution. Getting lawyers under control with tort reform. Getting the federal goverment e.g. OSHA under control. Getting the local, state, and federal goverment from overpaying with our money is part of the answer.

Nolefan32 was posting about how our tax base is very unstable. Yes when unemployment goes up income taxes go down. Relying on sales tax puts the states coffers at the whim of the consumer. Even if a person hasn't lost their jobs they may spend less because they are afraid to lose their job. Then the government has to entice people to spend so it can make a little back on the taxes we need for services. It's a vicious unsustainable cycle that is compounded by relying on collecting taxes based on how much a person spends. You are right we don't need more taxes, that why I don't like democrats. We need fairer more stable taxes, why I don't like republicans.
