Jeb Bush has had ads attacking McBride for all his new spending plans for Florida and saying he’ll have to raise taxes for them (perhaps adding the dreaded income tax which Florida thankfully lacks). McBride responded by saying his tax will only be a 50 cent increase on packs of cigarettes. This is a neat new concept: take a group you don’t like and make them pay for everything. I say, though, instead of smokers, we should make liberals pay for everything. Have an extra tax on books by Michael Moore and a subscription to The Nation. The great thing is that they shouldn’t complain since they are supposed to like taxes. We should also force them to clean roads and fill potholes, and, if they complain, that makes them hypocrites since they are supposed to enjoy community service. We should also have liberals pull us around the streets in rickshaws for free. They shouldn’t complain because they should think it’s great people are using pollution free transportation. We should also make them mow our lawns. They can’t complain because… uh… we’ll then lash them with a whip if they do; I want free lawn service and I don’t like liberals.
I used to think we should chase all liberals out of the country; don’t I feel stupid now.
The teacher’s unions have paid about 75% of the costs for amendment 9. Maybe they should do the same for its implementation.
On the other hand, Bush wants more gun control, and McBride doesn’t. Flip a coin….
McBride has an F rating with the NRA. Lots of gun-control people try not to talk about the issue now, but that doesn’t mean they won’t pounce given the opportunity.
Frank,
You are a GENIUS! Hell yes, charge the liberals. They want fifty cents a pack more for cigarettes? Charge them a thousand dollars protest sign tax, that will equal what the equivalent number of smoking conservatives would have to pay for their cigarettes. It would also serve to show the blind liberals, and the idiot politicians that are catering to this huge minority, the descrepency in the the stupid liberal to country loving conservative ratio.
These people need to wake and realize that they are by no means the majority of this country’s population.
Of Course we can always quietly continue to go to the polls and show them, as we have ever since we realized that by not doing so, they felt that they were the majority…but they should know better by now….still, they ARE idiots….
