Yes

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7mos7MO

No

 @BCS7B4P  from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

Only for more of the heavy duty equipment and more expensive ones.

 @BDDQNBX  from Florida  answered…1wk1W

Yea but only for certain sized industries and local farmers. Large companies should be taxed

 @BCXSDTG from Florida  answered…4wks4W

Yes but not hobby farms or properties people use to exploit this as a loophole

 @BCXPQ8WRepublican from Florida  answered…4wks4W

Yes ,so it can help regulate our economy.

 @BCXPGHM from Florida  answered…4wks4W

only if the cost gets to an extent

 @BCTZXNX  from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

yes, but a reduced amount

 @BCRV3ZK from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

Not too familiar

 @BCRJ78W from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

Reduce but not eliminate

 @BCQWTVR from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

only for black farmers

 @BCQ8WWW from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

Public farms and agritourism providing for communities should be exempt, private farms and agritourism should not be exempt.

 @BCQ5GWCDemocrat from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

NO unless they are suppling to a charity.

 @BCP8YPJ from Florida  answered…1mo1MO

get it lower

 @BC6DZDH from Florida  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, getting rid of property tax is fine if we still have income for our local area from the government.

 @BB77CFG from Florida  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, there should be some exemption for farmland and equipment, but agritourism is a commercial company and not a farm, so should not be exempt.

 @B9WKQG8Progressive from Florida  answered…3mos3MO

depends on if the equipment is used to farm as a means of living/work, or is just there for convenience or etc.

 @B9V4KTQ from Florida  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, though proper vetting methods should be in place to ensure it is not used as a way to evade taxes.

 @B99KZ3N from Florida  answered…4mos4MO

No, it allows big corporations to buy large plots of land that can't be taxed, then develop it into unaffordable housing

 @B8QXPMMWomen’s Equality from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

Depends on how much tax a business can pay. For smaller businesses, lower tax. For bigger businesses, higher tax.

 @B8GMW8P from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

No because then manufactures are giving away their product but they should be kept at a fair price because they are benefiting the nation.

 @B8GK7MD from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

I think it should be limited but not exempted to allow both sides to win a little. Still revenue without crushing farming with property taxes.

 @B8986RJ from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

I consider that Florida ought to exempt farm and agritourism equipment from property taxes since it supports farmers and rural growth, but it maybe also decrease local revenue. A fair strategy could focus relief to only small farms.

 @B87FJQR from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but with strict regulations to ensure no fraud can be committed.

 @B85G3CNRepublican from Florida  answered…7mos7MO

Not a bad idea. People should pay for their own things though

 @B8JC8DP from Florida  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, because it helps the farmers. Florida gains a lot of revenue through tourism, I believe it'll be fine without taxes on farm tools.

 @BDL5HXS from Florida  answered…22hrs22H

I don't have a stance on the matter

 @BDL9BNC from Florida  answered…18hrs18H

Yes but only for residents of Florida with a Florida birth certificate

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
