Rick Scott's Budget is Tea Stained

• If this budget had been presented in a synagogue or a mosque, the public outcry would be huge. That is why matters of the state should be kept in the buildings that our tax dollars have already paid for. Scott also wants to privatize our educational system. Our public education system is part of what has made the US what it is today. Our health care system is private, and we have millions of Americans (I think its up to 40) go without health care, a basic human right. Can you imagine a day when we take our children to the door of a school and they are turned away because the family can't afford it? Privatization does have its place, but not when its denies the citizens of what we need for our society to function.

• "Four" years and I quite frankly was not sold on Scott, but this budgets got my attention in a positive way.

• third world countries are doing the way they are because of government picking winners and losers. Kind of like what this administration, and the Bush Administration have done. Government can not micro manage society, it simply cant. and I would appreciate not using any name calling, I havent offended anyone, I expect the same.

• Privatization doesn't equal efficeincy or better services. In fact, privatization is rife in the third world and look at how they're doing. It's a model that lends itself very easily to corruption yet you idiot conservatives welcome it with open arms. Fools, the lot of you.

• I live in Eustis, Florida ... site of the speech. I'm somewhat embarrassed. I'm sorry, Florida. This is going to be a bad stretch for the next for years.

• Property tax bills have seen decreases due to declines in home prices, the tax RATE, has risen

• My property taxes have gone down the last two years. They are going to go down even more?

• First off, what exactly is separation of church and state? Second: cutting property taxes, is one of THE most vital steps Florida has needed since 2007 Third: Privatization, is a GOOD thing. Major city after major city have seen much demise due to micro managing, (Cleveland being a prime example) less regulation and spending, equals more prosperity and profit (yes, profit is a good thing)
