The New York Times manages to write an entire news article about Florida passing New York in population without using the word "tax."
"population experts said that the new rankings probably had more to do with longstanding immigration trends — large concentrations of people from Central and Latin American staking out new lives in Florida — than with economic development policies," the Times reports.
What about the people from New York staking out new lives in Florida? And what would the Times ever do without "experts"?
The Times attributes Florida's population growth to "air-conditioning."
For the record, Florida has no state income tax, while New York City and state combined have some of the highest top rates in the whole country.
