@jfnance32: Interesting argument. So you would say the voters are better served not knowing the details of a politician's divorce, and that candidates should be allowed on a ballot even though they were not legally qualified?
The Republican philosophy has exposed itself dramatically this week. Keep your hands off while big business pillages the economy. But if the whole thing blows up, then use the U.S. Treasury to bail them out. Utter hypocrisy ... yet oddly consistent.
I'm sorry. What the heck are you talking about?
I didn't look at Florida's tax structure, but I did check to see how it's doing: Here's from a news story last week:
"Prompted by dismal revenue projections, Florida lawmakers earlier this year eliminated two tax holidays as they try to balance a state budget hamstrung by a frigid housing market, fallout from the subprime lending crisis and the rising price of oil.
"Florida residents accustomed to a 10-day sales tax reprieve on back-to-school supplies will not benefit from a holiday that last year saved them about $41 million thanks to a temporary suspension of the state's 6 percent sales tax.
"Also gone is a similar tax holiday on hurricane supplies. That $12 million break, in place since the devastating hurricane seasons of 2004-2005, was also jettisoned in May as lawmakers tried to fill holes in a 2008 budget of $65 billion that was nearly $6 billion less than the previous year."
Florida is raising taxes with the support of a Republican governor.

65 percent of the respondents are age 65 or older. I could be wrong, but I don't think the voter demographic skews quite that old.
