Your entire chain of comments here is a strawman, buddy.

Asking clarifying questions of the other party to better understand what their saying isn’t a straw man, Jack.

You gave a false dichotomy and then went on a rant about why they're wrong for arguing one of those two things after being told they weren't arguing either of those things.

How else do you force someone to pay taxes in a state they don’t live in?

You said it was a false dichotomy, right? What’s the other option(s)?

How about if we eliminated rent seeking and both states required these wealthy individuals to contribute to the society that allowed them to build said wealth in the first place? That's just one of countless possibilities.

“Let’s get Florida to institute a state income tax and more on top for capital gains to match.”?

I mean, yeah? I’d like that. Is it ever going to happen save some overarching federal law standardizing everything? No.

Is moving and no longer paying state taxes for a state you don’t live in anymore “theft”? Also no.
