This is SO WRONG!  The state is feeling the great lack of support from big business as they move aside the desire for the taxpayers to be able to financially survive.

Tremendous cuts to educational support and healthcare in a state where jobs are very difficult to obtain.

Rick Scott is on a roll, to make his pals in corporate feel good, as they take the money, roll in the sand and then leave with their sandals still on their dirty feet.

Scott has been on "trips" paid for by the mere dollars in the tax collector's box to dance with leaders from foreign nations.  The game goes on and the facts remain the same.

Once, you give the DATE the present, they make a quick exit for greener pastures.

A "right-to-work" state kissing the butts of big business with taxpayers dollars is absolutely no way to run a guaranteed future of prosperity for the citizens. The loss was great before Scott came into the office...now, the bleeding has begun from those old wounds.

If, you already have a thin bank account and the hunger pains are eating at the tummy, I come into your world and ask for MORE sacrifices....the picture is ALL wrong! Florida has never been "read" correctly by the carpetbagger politicians and the locals who want the statues on the lawn with their names in bronze for the dogs to pee on.

A state that has relied on tourists and retirees is now seeing the cost of gas and food kill the market for tourism and the costs of survival and healthcare put the seniors in the ground.

The people that need to make the economy work in the state, for it to be able to survive....sacrifice everytime a politician in Tallahassee gets another free steak dinner. The fat cats do not feel the pain and they no longer represent the people "back home"!

Cut back on the expenses in Tallahassee and the taxpayers will see a huge savings. Cut-out the favors and the pork and slim-up the tummies of the politicians with glutony in their hearts. To stake-out more ways to slice the citizens of a state that have never had a good ride on the roads, now is a very bad decision.

    All this on top of the 178 million dollar bill to test people on welfare. 98%passed this ridicules test & it cost the state that much money. Only winner the testing company that Scott has ties to.

    The lure of the sun-belt states is usually a lower cost-of-living. On the reverse side, for that privelege, the State and counties will TAX every single breath that a soul tries to breathe.
