  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Some states do have tax breaks for the elderly, but they are rare.

Florida has a homestead property tax exemption for in-state residents and another for those 65 and older. Canadians and northerners who own winter homes in Florida to not get the in-state homestead exemptions.

The downside is the quality of education is lower as they can not afford to pay enough to attract high quality teachers. The state universities are not the best in America either. California and Massachusetts have better universities and high tech industries. They used to call Massachusetts "taxachusetts." There are people with Boston accents retired in the county where I live.
