Reply to comment by dherrmann in WHERE IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO LIVE FOR THE LOWEST TAXES WITH PSD/EIT by First-Onion-1026

I’d pick the best place for your life. These taxes shouldn’t influence your decision.

I’m looking for the lowest taxes in the state as well. I’m sick of having my money stolen from me every week so they can give corporate subsidies giant fossil fuel companies.

If you're looking at the lowest tax in the state you're looking at the difference in local taxes.

Except maybe Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, nobody is giving your tax dollars to corporate subsidies or giant fossil fuel companies. Its going to schools, and the other things in your community.

I can’t change how much I pay the state, but I can control how much I pay to the inept local governments.

You can change what state you live in equally as easily as picking the lowest local taxes. Some of the bordering states are probally closer too.

My family left PA and we’re saving $1K per month in taxes. We still visit but a lot of our favorite places didn’t survive covid.

Thanks, it’s pretty hot sometimes but I can go North for those months. You certainly see some interesting folks around.

Oh, and you no longer have state income tax either! I miss FL taxes.

The local tax pays for local police and other township stuff.

Sorry, I should have also said I was uncomfortable with it going to the overpaid gunslingers masquerading as public service too.
