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 have always thought people should have skin in the game.
BI is BS.
What I saw I liked, but his plan is mostly wishful thinking. It is Pollyanna. It is the same sort of utopian nonsense we see from the liberals.
If we could do any of those things, those things would have been done.
I think you first have to pay them, before considering it a raise.
It may be a pipe dream...but I’ll smoke it!
1. Our kids will say the pledge of allegiance,
salute the Flag, learn that America is a great
country, and choose the school that best fits
them. We will inspire patriotism and stop teaching the
revisionist history of the radical left; our kids will learn about
the wisdom of the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the
founding fathers. Public schools will focus on the 3 R’s, not
indoctrinate children with critical race theory or any other
political ideology.
2. Government will never again ask American
citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity,
or skin color on any government forms.
We are going to eliminate racial politics in America. No
government policy will be based on race. People “will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character.” We are all made in the image of God; to judge a
person on the color of their epidermis is immoral.
3. The soft-on-crime days of coddling criminal
behavior will end. We will re-fund and
respect the police because they, not the
criminals, are the good guys. We will enforce our
laws, all of them, and increase penalties for theft and violent
crime. We will clean up our cities and stop pretending that
crime is OK. We have zero-tolerance for “mostly peaceful
protests” that attack police officers, loot businesses, and burn
down our cities.
4. We will secure our border, finish building
the wall, and name it after President Donald
Trump. Nations have borders. We should give that a
try. President Trump’s plan to build a wall was right. We
welcome those who want to join us in building the American
dream, immigrants who want to be Americans, not change
America. We are a stronger nation because we are a nation
of immigrants; but immigration without assimilation makes
us weaker. Politicians from both parties talk big about border
security and do nothing. We are done with that.
5. We will grow America’s economy, starve
Washington’s economy, and stop Socialism.
Socialism is un-American and always leads to poverty
and oppression. We will stop it. We will shrink the federal
government, reduce the government work force by 25% in
5 years, sell government buildings and assets, and get rid of
the old, slow, closed, top-down, government-run-everything
system we have today.
6. We will eliminate all federal programs that
can be done locally, and enact term limits
for federal bureaucrats and Congress.
Many government agencies should be either moved
out of Washington or shuttered entirely. Yesterday’s
old government is fundamentally incompatible with the
digital era. The permanent ruling class in Washington is
bankrupting us with inflation and debt, so they must be
removed. For you to have more, Washington must have less.
7. We will protect the integrity of American
Democracy and stop left-wing efforts to
rig elections. Today’s Democrat Party is trying to rig
elections and pack the courts because they have given up
on Democracy. They don’t believe they can win based on
their ideas, so they want to game the system and legalize
voter fraud to stay in power. In true Orwellian fashion,
Democrats refer to their election rigging plans as “voting
rights”. We won’t allow the radical left to destroy our
democracy by institutionalizing dishonesty and fraud.
8. We will protect, defend, and promote the
American Family at all costs. The nuclear family
is crucial to civilization, it is God’s design for humanity, and
it must be protected and celebrated. To say otherwise is
to deny science. The fanatical left seeks to devalue and
redefine the traditional family, as they undermine parents
and attempt to replace them with government programs.
We will not allow Socialism to place the needs of the state
ahead of the family.
9. Men are men, women are women, and
unborn babies are babies. We believe in
science: Men and women are biologically different,
“male and female He created them.” Modern technology has
confirmed that abortion takes a human life. Facts are facts,
the earth is round, the sun is hot, there are two genders,
and abortion stops a beating heart. To say otherwise is to
deny science
10. Americans will be free to welcome God
into all aspects of our lives, and we will stop
all government efforts to deny our religious freedom and
freedom of speech. The Democrat Party and their Big Tech
allies are not merely secular; they have virtually created a
new religion of wokeness that is increasingly hostile toward
people of faith, particularly Christians and Jews. They are
determined to drive all mention of God out of public view.
We will not be silenced, canceled, or told what words to use
by the politically correct crowd.
11. We are Americans, not globalists.
America will be dependent on NO other country. We
will conduct no trade that takes away jobs or displaces
American workers. Countries who oppose us at the UN
will get zero financial help from us. We will be energy
independent and build supply chains that never rely on our
adversaries. We will only help countries that are willing to
defend themselves, like Israel
His plan has lot’s of specific details on how to accomplish each step. Worth reading.
Unprintable.
Are we led by idiots or infiltrated by leftist?
It is true all Americans need to pay their fair share of Taxes as appose to half of Americans paying none at all but the way to get there is via inflation not tax hikes.
Sounds pretty good to me. I didn’t see anything about raising taxes though; is the tile wrong?
“I didn’t see anything about raising taxes though”...of course Sen. Scott has no plans to raise taxes. His cuts in big government alone will save us on taxes.
The dems have seized on this because it calls for making some of the 50% of the country that pay zero federal taxes to actually pay some. Since anything is greater than zero they're claiming he wants to raise taxes. It's technically true because half the country doesn't pay any taxes while the other half is overtaxed. We should have never got to the point where half the nation is feeeloading off of the other half but few politicians said anything while taxes were being raised on the middle class while the welfare class was being given more and more taxpayer money. Now we're in a situation where the tax code is so tilted towards soaking the working people and rewarding the freeloaders that requiring the freeloaders to pay ANYTHING towards supporting themselves is considered a tax hike.
>>It’s the same as feeding a cow a hamburger.<<
When Mom was growing up, her parents had a cow that was caught eating chickens; they turned it into hamburger.
Might be a lesson in there about how to deal with Rick Scott.
Under the "Economy/Growth" section: "All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax."
Why we need tariffs. The tariff is the fairest most CONSTRUCTIVE form of taxation. It raises revenue, promotes domestic industry, is not progressive in any way and is voluntary. Don’t buy, don’t pay.
