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.
…you want a state to jail people for following the laws of the country that the state is a part of. You do realize that’s putting the entire state population into a catch-22 of having to decide whether or not to pay federal taxes and hope that this whole protest thing the state is doing doesn’t blow up in their face and leave every single person in the state with a bunch of debt that we all know is extremely bad debt to have (the IRS does not fuck around with unpaid taxes and folks who get into debt with the IRS tend to be stuck there for a long time) not to mention whatever retaliatory measures would probably be taken and implemented against the citizens of participating states
In short, it’s a hell of a gambit and quite frankly requires a successful secession to have any hope of not royally fucking yourself over
We’ve switched from “it’s impossible” to “it’s possible but a hell of a gambit” which was the goal.
It’s completely asinine. How many people can control what’s happening with their payroll taxes at all?!?!?
