Thousands Fleeing Democrat High 

Tax States ... To Florida and Texas
 This from FOX News

Could the high tax state exodus to Florida change the states politics?

Florida has become a hot spot for people looking to move within the U.S. – particularly among those hoping to lower their tax liabilities – but certain areas in the Sunshine State have received more movers than others.

Residents from high-tax states, like New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, have been moving to lower-tax states, like Florida, in droves....

Florida received more movers than any other state last year, at 566,476 people, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. 

Texas, another no-income tax state, received the second highest amount of movers (524,511). New York had the largest outflows to Florida, while California did to Texas.

As previously reported by FOX Business, Florida is benefiting financially from an influx of movers. In 2016, it drew in about $17.7 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI).

My Comment:

Levying "tribute", as a tax, is first mentioned in the Bible, upon the people of the theocracy of Israel, to be paid    "unto the LORD for the men of war which went out to battle ...." Numbers 31:28.    The purpose is obvious, to be used in defense of the nation. This is the same, primary purpose for taxes in our U.S. Constitution.

Later, in Dan.11:20, there was a secular, political leader, the Lord called,      "a raiser of taxes (for) the glory of  (his own) kingdom...."     in which case God says,     "but within few days he shall be destroyed ...."      This may have been the first, but he certainly wasn't the last, raiser of taxes, who paid a heavy price for his greed, power lust, and vain glory.

In the Bible, both O.T. and N.T., there are several words translated tribute. I am using those which mean taxes, like the Greek word phoros in Luke 20:22, when some apostate Jews conspired to trap Jesus into saying something which would anger their Roman occupiers or other Jews. So they asked Jesus,     "Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?"    Either way Jesus answered it would anger the Romans, who levied the taxes, or the Jews who paid them. Of course Jesus perceived their intent and asked them whose image was on the the silver or gold coins they paid taxes with. They answered, "Caesar's". Jesus responded that if the coins had Caesar's picture on them, they must be his, so give Caesar what obviously belonged to him.

Some time later, these angry Democrates conspirators led a gullible mob to take Jesus before the Roman Governor, Pilate     "And they began to accuse (Jesus), saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar." Luke 23:2.      So you see, lying accusers didn't originate with today's crop. But they have now gone to seed.

Our U.S. Constitution was established by men whose roots had been transplanted to America from European monarchies and dictatorships where armed tyranny reigned, taxes were all consuming, and they were disarmed, servile chattel. It was also from this continuing subjugation, brought to America, that they had just fought and won their freedom here. So they were determined never again to let the same kind of ruthless, power hungry tyrants get in control again in America. That was their motivation when they drew up a Constitutional Republic form of Democratic government which would defend our country and citizens from foreign or domestic dictators, and from each other. This by way of a military, Law Enforcement, an armed citizenry and a bill of rights administrated by three branches, Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. 

The Apostle Paul emphasized the importance of an honorable government, with an upstanding, ethical, Military and Law Enforcement network. In America's case, that would be under the chief executive, whose sole duty is to enforce the Constitution and defend the nation from its enemies, and we individuals citizens from each other. Read Paul's admonition for yourself in Rom.13:3-6 where he addresses the need for taxes, to pay for this protection from evil men, in the 6th verse,     "For this cause pay ye tribute also for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing."     Notice he calls these protectors "ministers of God".

The states and cities perverting the sacred purpose and responsibilities of our Constitutional government, have over-taxed the citizens, misused the funds, and abused both the military and Law Enforcement agencies and thus violated our Constitution.  They are comparable to the above mentioned "raisers of taxes" who did it "for their own kingdoms glory" and, by their greedy actions have forced hard working, tax paying citizens to move out to fairer states. So welcome to Texas, but leave your left wing politics in the Democrat cities and states it has ruined, which caused the problems in your former states in the first place.  If you mess up Florida and Texas ... there's nowhere else to run. And by the way, this is called the Bible Belt, where you need a Bible, God and a gun ...  to cling to. Start with the Bible. Read it til you find God ... when He finds you reading your Bible. You can get one free at this link:
