I think the idea that FL heavily taxes tourists because they don't
have a state income tax is bogus. The hotel room tax in Miami or
Orlando is 2.5%. For those of us that travel, that rate isn't out of
line with rates that you can find in other major tourist destinations
in other states that have income taxes.
