Interesting sign at Raymond James Stadium … and even more interesting that it was shown on the big screen in the stadium no fewer than two times. It read (I’m paraphrasing here):
NO PROPERTY TAXES
2.5% SALES TAX ONLY
Now, I’m no economic genius, but in a state already decimated fiscally and in serious danger of real economic catastrophe, I don’t think eliminating all property taxes and gutting the sales tax (currently 6% plus a local option by county, generally 1/2% or 1%) is going to make things better. Unless, of course, your idea of “better” is Lord of the Flies.
I don’t go to football games for politics. Especially absurd politics.
At least the Bucs won …
