For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

You know what the fastest growing religion in America is? Statism. The growing reliance on government.

But those who believe that what our people desire is big government are living in a state of delusion.
