First up will be the upcoming elections, in Florida, my District and my County.

We have 3 Constitutional amendments on the ballot. The one I will address is Amendment 3, dealing with property taxes. Let me say this concerning this amendment, it isn’t ever going to get 60% support. Why, you ask? For a few simple reasons.

First, the largest employer in Florida, whether it be State, County or Local is government. The amendment would reduce the amount of money that would come into the government coffers. The poor things would have to get by on less, kind of like we non-government citizens have to.

Secondly, to my knowledge not a single government official has come out in support of this amendment, excluding our current Governor. As a matter of fact, they have been wringing their hands since the amendment made it to the ballot. There statements and actions have been akin to “The sky is falling”.

Thirdly, I doubt seriously that any government employee is going to you Yes on this amendment. they see it as an attack on their income, status, position, pay and retirement. As I mentioned the largest employer is the government.

Now we move to the State Legislature. Why would I vote for a republican who is just a democrat in disguise. I may as well vote for a democrat, at least I know what I am getting.

Now to the House of Representatives. I sometimes wonder just who or what he represents. So, I guess here too I will vote democrat.

As for the rest of the ballot there are some listed who I will be voting for, and others I will be voting just to cancel out one vote for. Some that I know have said they will be sitting this one out.

I read an article this morning about a campaign that claimed to have knocked on 2 million doors. I just wonder where those alleged doors are, no one out in my area has said they have had any interactions or visits with any one on your campaign staff. You must be concentrating your efforts in the high population centers.

Well, that is enough of this for now. Now a little of that.

This part will be little more of the things I grow weary of.

I grow weary of hearing those in government saying “Nobody is above the law. Yes, there are many above the law. Again, you ask Why? When a law is passed and you deceitfully include exclusions,classes of people or occupations that the law does not apply to are by definition “above the law”.

I grow weary of hearing about the “human printer”, the “most beautiful aid” and the latest press secretary.

I grow weary of hearing campaign promise, especially the ones made that they cannot fulfill or even if they could they would not. This one deserves its very own post, and it will be forthcoming.

I grow weary of hearing talking-heads saying, “This is the most consequential election of our lifetime”. Each and every election has consequences.

And lastly, for now, I grow weary of those same talking-heads justifying the mess we have now by how messed up things were under past administrations.
