Florida is like a leech; they take and take from the government as a ‘receiver state,’ paying less in taxes but receiving more federal support than other states.

Doesn’t that make them people who love free things? Maybe even a bit socialist or communist?

Like what’s their purpose in this country? Do they offer anything besides Disney World? Oh wait California does that too. Ohhh I see, retirement homes close to the water just so that way they don’t have to bury the bodies and hurricansweep em

Yes. As a Floridian, yes. We scream about socialism but let a hurricane come and then it’s “where is the government”? While we continue to vote for a government that does not give a damn about climate change.

Or vote for the guy who wants to defund NOAA

It looks like a wang, so at least it’s fun to laugh at.

Ah damn that’s true. Now the only blue parts in Florida is Miami Beach, Orlando and Tallahassee. I just hope we’re all good for the future, which I doubt but I wannabe hopeful

It takes a special kind of stupid to blame Florida for the welfare transfers you demand them to take. You think they wouldn’t forego the entire welfare apparatus you seem to want to badger them with?

Put it another way, why do you not get angry at “taker” citizens leeching off productive citizens? It’s the same argument.

If you’re mad that poor Floridians get more benefit than they pay in, we have solutions for that. End the transfers. Florida would be happy to do so, in fact, and that would shut this stupid point up permanently.

It’s where a large population of Puerto Ricans live. But be clear, it wasn’t about outrage bait. They don’t believe women can run the country. Latino men have been loud and clear on that. Same when Hillary ran.
