18. This would be a perfect opportunity for our party to gain some seats,
that is if any of them had any courage or conviction. They could roll out an alternative plan that included progressive tax reform highlighting the obvious corporate gimmies passed by the legislature. They could point how this plan would benefit the majority of us Floridians instead of an elite few. They could propose a liberal budget that would fund schools and the environment. They could then plaster their plan on every media outlet available and rally the whole party around challenging the Jebbittes.

Sadly the only one that has really aggressively pushed a tax reform over the years is a Republican, John McKay. I tell y'all, we're really begging for some leadership in our party down here.
