Florida man totally insane

Last edited Fri Sep 18, 2020, 12:24 PM - Edit history (1)

I tried to make a click bait subject. I feel like I am the insane Florida man.

My rep. Francis Rooney is on C-Span right now (FL 19th district). I hear the words come out of his mouth and all I can hear MONEY MONEY as excuses for every problem.
And all I can think about is that there is plenty of money it just need to be used to build a better world. He is corporate and his concerns are for his constituents. The super rich that infest my district in the south (Naples). The outlying areas Golden Gate, Ft Myers, etc where the working stiffs toil for all ... are a mere afterthought.

If you wish to view his segment I wll post the link once C-Span has it available on line.

Here's the link

Of the favouritism rich people get,everywhere .

Ogliarch losers in all areas of life except for money making.

Cap the wealth a person or family can earn via progressive taxation. Back to 90 percent.and tax capital and dividends inheritance all of it on the top 10%
