Florida mulls scrapping property taxes in US first

Florida already doesn’t have a state income tax, so according to the nonprofit Florida Policy Institute…Property taxes provide 18% of county revenue, 17% of city/town revenue, and 50%-60% of school district funding. Florida sales tax would need to at least double to 12% to make up for property tax losses. But…DeSantis said he doesn’t want to raise the sales tax. Instead, he’s proposed cutting spending or taxing tourists more.

What is their hard on for cutting educational funding? Why do these MAGA idiots think removing funding from an already-strapped educational system in this country is going to make it better?
