Given you got busted in that Columbia/HCA lawsuit, that's rich of you to say...

 
Two untruths.

There is absolutely no plan to raise taxes on anyone.

Rick Scott was never convicted of anything.

But what is true is to many Americans are spoiled and think government and other Americans owe them something.

Then why'd he remove it from his "11-point plan" then?

It was a civil case and the Columbia/HCA board dropped him on his ass after he took $300 million of the company's money for his own use....

So ensuring that there is some floor below which no American should ever fall under is, in your eyes, "spoiled"?
Pardon my Appalachian but you're one cold heartless .........

Again, if you read it that’s not a plan to raise taxes on anyone. That was to make every single American that pays zero in taxes and actually gets OUR money from people that pay taxes less back every year and actually contribute to society.

And again, he himself has never been convicted.

And yes I’m calling today’s Americans spoiled, dependent, whiny and plain out lazy with businesses across the country begging for employees. But they like soaking off of the people who produce something.

And yet California, the supposed conservative example of "bad politics", is still the 5th-largest economy in the world if it were its' own country....don't believe me; that's what Bull Oak Capital says c. Dec. 2021...
If California were a country, it would immediately be a global force to be reckoned with. It is no secret that California is the largest and most productive state in the United States. Between Silicon Valley, Hollywood, agriculture, and tourism, there is plenty to be excited about in the Golden State.

California’s GDP in 2021 was $3.35T, representing 14.6% of the total U.S. economy. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world, more productive than India and the United Kingdom.

In terms of military power, California has the most active-duty service members out of any state in the U.S., plus one of the largest nuclear weapons research and manufacturing facilities in the world. Plus, some of the world’s most influential companies reside in California: Disney, Apple, Google, Facebook, Oracle, and Wells Fargo to name a few. For stock investors, California shareholders have performed exceptionally well. If California were an independent nation, no doubt that it would do quite well on a global stage...

They keep saying it but it ain’t anymore. It’s a state crumbling and they don’t even need a earthquake they are doing it on their own.

And yet they have a bigger economy that either Florida or Texas; gee, I wonder what they're doing right....
 
Life is good for me. Don't believe the hype.

I do believe it, my wife has a bunch of family there and even they acknowledge it’s decline. seeing physically how bad it is when they visited us last month in Florida when comparing it California. When I visited 4 or 5 years ago it was bad and looked like a war zone but now in cities around LA you can’t even walk around once popular tourist destinations.

I am not in LA. That place is a cesspool.

Pick any moderately big or medium city in California and it’s in rapid decline and unsafe for your personal safety and pocket book. Corrupt people with dumb ideas is running a state into third world status.

Same could be said for any large city in the country.

It could but overall all of Floridas cities have their issues but they ain’t to bad. We don’t have homeless camping on sidewalks for miles. We don’t worry about cities burning down every time there is a ruling someone doesn’t like. Peoples rights in cities can’t be restricted for self protection. Overall it’s miles better than cities controlled by the left where they can’t even stop rapes happening in broad daylight while people numb to it all just walk buy ignoring it all.

Never seen any of that IRL.
