In Florida we have had a supposedly Republican Government for years. Well every time you turn around there is a new agency to mess you up. Aything you want to do you have to have permits fees licenses etc. The sales tax was 4% now it is 7% and going up. Almost a 100% tax increase. No where has the size and scope of govermnment been reduced. Same with Bush and the Washington RINOS. I am going for a new party to vote for. I do not see the edge to vote for Republicans any more. I am just as disgusted with them as the Crats.

No argument from me- our sales tax went from 3% to 7% ( "for the children"-- the schools ) while property taxes quintupled. Yes, "Da Skoolz" again. Lotto was supposed to pay for it... all it's done is cheat the poor, stupid, gullible, and greedy out of money they ought to spend on their families.

And what I see locally is being repeated in Atlanta, and in DC. A plague and a pox on both their houses.

“In Florida we have had a supposedly Republican Government for years. Well every time you turn around there is a new agency to mess you up.”


I lived in Florida for quite anumber of years. My wife and I built a house in West Central Florida without borrowing any money from banks. We built in it $600.00 increments as I saved the money from my paycheck. It took two years to build, we owned it debt-free,; no mortgage. When we sold it later, we were able to pay for our second house with cash.

The county stayed impatient with us because we were “pioneering”. One building department man scolded us, “Why don’t you get a loan and get this finished up!”

Bureaucrats! When Republicans get elected, they don’t seem to do anything about the liberal bureacracies. They leave left-wingers in those positions.

Why don’t Republicans clean house when they come in to office? I believe that as long as you have liberal buraeucracy, government will remain in a left leaning downward spiral.

The article posted doesn’t make me feel any better at all. It just reminded me that each bout of liberal big planning, FDR, LBJ and onward ends us up at a new low in that downward spiral.

And now we have come to the place where we have a one-party system instead of a two-party system. It is the DemoPubMedia Party that rules the land now.

Third parties are a certain path toward political irrelevance. The current economic pinch will lead to a renewed appreciation of economy in government in Florida and elsewhere, with Republicans leading the effort.
