I say vote yes for the constitutional amendment to cut property taxes. My biggest problem is that it did'nt go far enough but at least it's a start.  I do not want to hear from county & city government complaing about the lack of cash. Maby if they where a little more responsible with are tax money they would'nt have to cut jobs.

For all the state,city & county officials I would like to solve your problem right now with a simple solution.

1.No tax breaks or special deals for pro-sports teams

2.Stop buying art that if it was sold in the private sector it would be in the city dump.

3.Don't build musems unless it can pay for its self with out tax payer dollars.

4.5% Pay cuts for any government employee who makes over $100,000 a year.

I have to stay on a tight budget so it's time for government to do the same.

Another thing I do know, The general population just eats it up. That's why "It's the way it is". Now as 4 your #'s 1-4, I'm with ya all the way. How can we make it happen???

I fully agree. All the money spent to build roads can be used for the poor. Millions of our tax dollars going in to things that we don't need just now.

Patgrant74, the problem is the poor, we have become a nanny state and instead of helping people get on there feet we have given them a bigger bed. The best government hand out is a job!
How about instead og the federal government giving out cash so we can buy crack,beer and flat screen tv's, lets start creating american jobs by rebuilding this country's introstructure.

It is only going to hurt in the long run. It is not much of a tax break.
What is $20 worth to you????
There will be more than 12 billon in cuts to police & fire depts, local health care, road construction, senior centers, after school programs.
Increased fees for essential services.
Some 3 billion in cuts to schools in the next 5 years, Florida ranks 48th in the nation in education funding!!!
Massive layoffs for the public-sector employees.
An even more unfair tax system that helps Big Buisness & beachfront millionaires at the expenses of working families?
Does this sound like a real tax break?????
PLEASE VOTE NO!!!!!! It really is not a help!!!!

You need to know not all the school monies comes from the goverment like that. Buses, maintance, etc do not all come from the goverment like that.

Government has to learn how to live with in its means.
The only people who would vote no our those individules who have that government job. It sounds like you have wealth envey. If we don't have some kind of home owners tax relief more people will leave and less will come into this state to help the ecomomy.
If it was up to me we would do away with the property tax and go to a 1% sales tax no exemptions.

I am under the impression that property taxes didn't go up, property values went up so the millage rate was the same but the dollar figure was adjusted up. My problem is that the tax role has probably tripled in the last 5 years with the population growth and all the new construction. If the state has 3 times the amount of houses that it had 5 years ago then there must be 3 times the amount of tax money being made. It should not take 3 times the amount of money to provide services for the residents because like anything else in society cost goes down on a per person average when you provide for more. The state needs to just stop wasting and purchasing what it doesn't need. The state agencies need to be made to save instead of spending all they are budgeted so their budgets don't get cut the following year.

Just my thoughts

Isee you have the fair tax book on your page,that do you think of it I am all for it. One of the comments was on tax cuts for the rich if the rich person is in business he or she will just pass part of the tax onto the consumer.

I strongley support the Fair tax and mike Huckabee and I am getting ready to go to his rally in Tampa.(Tampa International Jet Center)
There will be no Tax to pass on to the consumer because the Fair Tax gets rid of the inbetted taxes.
For Example
A pen cost $1.00 at the store
23% of that is corporate and income tax.
The pen now will cost $.77 at the store with a 23% sales tax.
The pen still cost $1.00 but you get to keep your entire paycheck and get a rebate check from the government every month.
I recomend getting the book or go to fairtax.org.
Mike Huckabee For President!!!!!

I say get rid of ALL illegal immigrants and do not allow another one in. stop giving out free medical especially to those that do not belong here illegally and those that can't get off their arses and get jobs while depending on our tax $$ to lavish their pockets w/ crack and booze. Fire every single fat head in government and start all over w/ regular folks. Make sure every single government official elected, must live up to their promises and every 6 months be drug/alcohol tested and be replaced if they test positive and are not living up to OUR expectations...

also we should do away w/ state tax and property tax COMPLETELY...these idiots are not using our money to do any good for our community, they are wasting it on BS and padding their own pockets..they need to get paid a regular salary like any joe blow would and make sure it caps off..for every thing they promise and don't hold true, they should either be dismissed or get a huge pay cut.
And yes, VOTE ABOSOLUTELY F_ING NO on this tax cut..make them work for something better because this crap is not going to cut it!
