Florida has no Income tax and Delaware has no sales taxes at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked one how his job was going. Told me he just got a raise, and is now making $45k. (i didn't ask, he just gave that up). $45k down here will get you a nice refridgerator box and maybe a razor scooter for transport. In Buffalo, that's a decent living. People like to B word. If it wasn't for taxes, they'd find something else. I am counting the days till when I can pay 9.25% tax when I go buy a 12 pack. And guess what, I won't even complain about the $.60 in deposit.

IE: Florida..........go to the Miami Herald web-site, there must be 4-5 murders a day just in Miami. Weather is great until the hurricanes stop by. I doubt housing is cheap there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you decide you want to switch places, I'll send you a check every week for the 3% sales tax difference for all of your groceries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 153231[/snapback] Yeah. I find it funny to hear people complain about the cost of living in WNY. Try living around here and then tell me how bad you've got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE...NO SALES TAX...NO INCOME TAX!! But sky high property taxes, car registation fees, almost no state services to speak of, and some school systems that are downright third-world quality. They pay for schools here with kids selling candy bars. The strange thing is every town has a state-of-the-art police station. At least we have our priorities straight!

stevestojan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Riddle me this batman. Where else in the world can I move where I can get a decent 3 bedroom house in the suberbs for $150k? If you brought a suitcase full of cash containing $150k and tried to buy a 1bdrm house in WPB, you would get laughed out the door. But keep bitching. The grass is always greener on the other side.

stevestojan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hudson, WI (suburb of St. Paul, MN) CW 153251[/snapback] and I'm sure their sales tax is 0%. You're missing the point. The point is people in WNY have it GOOD when it comes to cost of living. 9.25%, so what? If you're weekly grocery bill is $200, you now pay another $2.50 a week. Go clip an extra coupon.
