FL Taxpayers Feel Pinch from GOP Policies. Will Dems Learn?
The Republicans that run Florida’s Legislative branch claim to be good conservatives who will protect the taxpayers from the liberal monsters in Washington and especially in the White House. But Florida’s Republicans are far from conservative when it comes to spending other people’s money. These phony conservatives are more concerned about using the levers of power to protect and promote campaign contributors and other special interests than actually living up to their so famous ” smaller government,more freedom mantra.” Under their watch, Florida has gone from a national model to a national joke.
Arrogance among the legislative majority has grown as the inept Florida Democratic Party has failed to seriously contest election after election despite favorable demographic shifts up and down the peninsula. While Florida taxpayers are constantly fleeced by a majority that has rewritten history, the FDP focuses on non-issues and denies voters choices in critical elections.
Most of Florida’s current problems began after the GOP took the majority in the State Legislature in 1996. Legislative leaders constantly claim the need to cut budgets, by trimming fat and eliminating essential programs. But what many observers forget is that many if not all of Florida’s budgetary problems began under Republican rule. Irresponsibly repealing important sources of revenue while pillaging the state and undermining the ability to withstand external economic phenomena have been trademarks of the GOP legislature.

Keep pressuring the FL Democratic Party to make some sort of unified and coherent message against the Republicans!!! It's time for this party to wake up.
