The entire state gov't is Republican dominated even during this period of Republican;s being down on a national level....

Floridians have a hatred of taxes unmatched anywhere else in the country, check out Amendment 1 from a few years ago (07) for proof (80% or so approval for a tax cut even during a budget crisis)...

I say y'all can have Puerto Rico.... and Miami/ SE Florida, since many there seem to want to form another state anyway, but we keep the rest of Florida...
We'd like everything the government paid for, since you're against that.

Yeah a real world for all the conservative posters to thrive in! Corporations would flock there to build a base to do business with Asia, Africa, Middle East, South America etc etc. Great base for the global economy.

I don't have numbers handy but I think that the average Democrat pays more taxes than the average Republican. Anyone know?

Back off for a couple of generations and there won't be any more liberals and the conservatives will have free run of everything.

Or is the truth of the matter that the conservatives secretly admire us and don't want us to go away?
CORRECTION Please! Let us get this one right! Conservatives do NOT oppose abortion!! Say that again a bit louder: CONSERVATIVES DO NOT OPPOSE ABORTION!!!
What conservatives oppose is women. Particularly the right of working class women to have any say over things that affect their lives- like having a baby they don't want and cannot afford. Conservatives see that as her rightful punishment for having sex. BUT when it comes to their own daughters getting knocked up, before abortion was legal, they would be on a plane to California, Kansas or New York to get the problem "taken care of".
And they don't give a damn about fetuses either. Hell, they don't give a damn about real children, much less unborn ones. Especially if the kid is poor, black or brown.

Like the democrats and republicans alike vilified that woman that wanted 14 babies (with her own body)... octuplets added to her already living 6. Now all the sudden a woman's body isn't hers anymore. A core value of adjustment.

There is no box for democrat or republic on the year end tax forms except maybe for donations. However just going through this thread should verify for you which party is the one of entitlements. The point is people with egg on their face are pointing to the other folks with egg on their face saying, hey look they have egg on their face.

If you don't like this country I'm sure there are others that would take you.
I cannot think of any. Certainly not any advanced country like the UK or Canada. Maybe Hati would take them.

Yeah...like a few people previously said...threads like these make it painful to be in the middle. I mean, in all honestly I lean somewhat to the left...but this thread makes me hate everyone.
