The Trumpian midterm reelection plan Republican Sen. Rick Scott had hoped would electrify colleagues has instead reenergized Democrats in both chambers, sparking nationwide campaign ads, fundraising appeals, and fresh lines of attack against GOP lawmakers on the ballot this fall.
The 11-point strategy, which Scott developed on his own and unveiled February 22, takes conservative-fueled culture wars and MAGA priorities to another level — prompting fellow Republicans to characterize it as "polarizing" and "silly." In addition to imposing new taxes on low- and middle-income earners currently exempt from federal collections, Scott declares war on national mask mandates, local school boards, and race relations in general.

I thought Scott was a half of an idiot, but I was wrong. He’s broken down the wall into full idiocy.

You are quoting MSN. I won't give them a click. Could you excerpt what Rick Scott actually said instead of running it through the MSN distortion machine?

I fail to see a problem with half of america paying taxes and no longer being completely subsidized by the other half.

Shelves are empty.
Gas prices are back breaking.
And the idiots that voted for Biden will do it again.
This nonsense is just groupthink mind-guard fodder to stop them from reconsidering their assumptions.
It’s the same as feeding a cow a hamburger.

If it were up to me, everyone would have skin in the game. In socialist countries, you pay for what you get.

How about instead proposing to never raise the debt ceiling and make Fed.gov spend only what it can get in taxes - at 10% max?

That article is complete baloney. It’s completely made up from what’s in Scott’s plan, to what Trump wants, to the current state of the GOP. It’s all lies.
To: griswold3
I vaguely recall something along those lines as to why property owners alone were allowed to vote originally

Business Insider is awful, just awful. No business, no inside information; just dimocrap party attacks.

To: Jonny7797
It’s all lies. It seems reasonably accurate to me. Where are the lies?
To: DoodleDawg
If Scott had any brain she would have said he’d cut taxes right after the republicans cut 50% of the government spending and fire the deep state!

I’d vote for his plan. I think it’s brilliant. Someone in the R party needs to step up and be a leader.
