WOE TO FLORIDA

It is a damn shame that Gov. Christ has decided to sign the latest budget for the state of Florida. It appears that the republicans and democrats have decided that unless we are taxed to the max, we should not be able to enjoy our lives as we see fit.
If the legislature wants money so badly, they should be encouraging smokers to increase their habit.They should be encouraging obesity in children and adults.
Where, pray tell, is the logic. I am Blonde and I understand that if the price of something is higher than its worth, one doesn't buy it, therefore consumption goes down and revenue goes down with it.
The current crop of legislators appears to be hell bent for election to follow California's formula for population control. More people are leaving California to escape the regulation excess and tax excess than are moving into the state. This applies to business also. Why would one move into a state that penalizes it's population with excessive insurance,taxation,regulation etc..
Please don't tell me that property taxes weren't raised, therefore we are the good guys. Watch your trim notice. The county will manage to value your home at what they THINK it will market for then tax accordingly. The value goes down, the millage goes down, and the school system raises theirs to compensate. The last time my taxes were "lowered" all of the assessments were raised and my bill still went up over 100.00. The state workforce increased,the private sector layed off. The unemployment office gets swamped, therefore the state employment increases again and taxes have to go up to accommodate. It is a vicious cycle
TEXAS IS LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER.......Texas and Alaska know how to use their resources wisely. They have managed to profit from the drilling of oil and all of their other resources. Florida has decided that solar,wind(neither can be exported) and funky cars that can not accommodate a family or a person in a wheelchair is the way to go-GOOD LUCK. Someone ought to check out Spain. According to them, it costs WAY more to train someone in "Green Technology" than they pay and the unemployment rate has skyrocketed.
I do believe we are losing our country to a bunch of IDIOTS!
