5. i think this amendment has the potential to put our
homestead exemptions in jeopardy. as a product of a republican led legislature, it has 'privatization' written all over it. sorry, but i do not trust the republican legislature to do what is in the best interests of the little guy.

even though it will reduce my taxes, i will vote 'no'.

i believe in the services bought by our tax dollars. republicans do not. what will happen to your property when you have to pay for privatized police and fire protection right out of your wallet? do you think you can buy the same protection that the wealthy can afford? i can't.

florida republicans may vote this republican plan in, but i will not help them.

ain't it grand that the same guys that brought out this plan also pushed the 60% vote rule? i hope to see them hoisted on their own petard!

btw, you know that insurance premium cut we were supposed to get this year? my insurance WENT UP. did yours? great job these guys in tallahassee are doing.
