> Less than one fifth of its revenue comes from federal sources

Over one-quarter (26%) comes from Federal sources according to the Census Bureau's Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances.

Having 26% of your government funded by (Federal) income taxes sure sounds like Florida can't operate without income taxes. They simply outsource collection to another jurisdiction.

Which 26% though? I’ll bet dollars to donuts that if the fed cut off Florida right now, they would sort it out.
