Alan Grayson: Rick Scott Wants A Tax Cut For Rick Scott

[thinkingforwardus]

LOL, People in Florida got what they deserve in this Scumbag Criminal BITCH Rick Scott, this demonic low-life Teabag is the destructive force of the Middle Class, this CON-MAN Bush Republican should be behind bard and not governor.

[fanadfilms]

End Public Schools.

[fanadfilms]

All you Democrats must grow brains. The Role of government at all levels should be limited. Too much government (look how much it's grown since just the 1950's and to our detriment) is destructive.

Taxes should never take more than 10% total (federal, State and local) than anyone's wealth. More than that is theft.

[GTIboost5a]

How does a scum bag like that get elected after a FBI probe?! WTF this country is a joke.

[Yankhadenough]

@GTIboost5a Because the DOJ only charged the COMPANY (HCA/Columbia) with the felonies. DOJ did not pierce the corporate veil to go after Rick Scott as an individual. Doesn't that mean NO DOUBLE JEOPARDY? If DOJ is smart, they can go after Rick Scott right NOW!

[fanadfilms]

@GTIboost5a How does GRAYSON get elected. He's clearly been lobotomized.

[aidole44]

R Scott stole so much from the taxpayers when he worked for that health care company. He bought this position to do the same thing with lab services. He is channeling all lab services to his companies. He is not supposed to own companies while he hold a public office. He needs to be recalled.

[MrShiner55]

And what about the 700.000 jobs??????? Republicans to busy stuffing their pockets and taking away women rights.

[somiamijoe]

We need to all unite, share our emails and start organizing to remove this man from Governor. We need to divide the state up and employ a rapid response email connection to work for each area. Obviously our elected Florida Senators and Congresspeople in Florida are not willing to remove Scott without our support. Of course some want to share in the wealth he steals and they need to be removed as well. Joe in Wilton Manors somiamijoe@comcast.net

[keysalsero]

People of Florida, you deserve what you didn't vote for.



[xaviqaz]

Democrats want European Welfare without European immigration laws. Republicans want huge tax cuts without cutting the military. Both are fucking wrong.

[optionsupdate]

when rick scott was running for office did these frauds come to light

[LeondraL]

@optionsupdate

Yes! but election had 3 candidates. Charlie Crist, the incumbent, left the GOP and ran as an independant, because he stood up for teachers, against most of the GOP in FL. Scott got the GOP nomination. He flooded the media with ads. "He spent 78 million to win the election, and he wants a return on his investment."

[simnszz]

@optionsupdate YES. However, Scott poured millions into TV ads demonizing Alex Sink. Additionally, Crist took away votes. The FL Democratic party doesn't seem organized in this state. Republicans dominate high offices in Tallahassee. The party is also grooming Marco Rubio to be a VP candidate to capture the Hispanic vote. He used to be okay about environmental issues. Now he votes strictly party line on everything. Nat'l Dem Party leadership needed & MONEY like the Koch Bros spend on GOPS.

[barbcinque]

This extreme brand of republicans are the worst thing that has happened to this country.

The religious right made a pact with the devil. The republicans gave them the unborn in exchange for screwing the already born.

Begin enticed falwell into making the evangelical agenda the same as the zionist agenda....and a few hundred million dollars later....voila...rupert murdoch became the new messiah!!

[apparition2]

That's what happens when people blindly vote against their self interests in favor of a criminal fascist sociopath.

People who voted for Rick Scott are worse off than chickens who voted for Colonel Sanders.

[Yankhadenough]

Not uber conservative, he is UBER-CORPORATIST

[hwydaddy]

Florida Republicans are solely responsible for voting this Ahole into office, and they the Floridian Republicans are getting what they deserve. My heart goes out to the Middle Class , Seniors, Children and the Poor who will suffer under the fail policies of this criminal, shame on everyone who voted for this piece of shit.

Floridians need a Alan Grayson for Governor, Alex Sink was a disgrace she threw in the towel before all the votes were counted.

[cemott3rd]

Grayson for Governor!

[deeppurple28]

I'm going to move to Florida just to vote for Grayson!

[crazycatladybj]

Unfortunately, i do live in Fl. DID NOT vote for Scott. I voted for K. Meek. He & Charlie Christ ended up splitting the vote & that's how scott got elected. I just don't understand the theory behind tax cuts to corps. Yes, it brings them here, & they hire people,but even if they hire 5,000, the entire state pays for that tax break!

Why anybody voted for that crook is beyond me.

[cemott3rd]

@crazycatladybj K Meek and Charlie Crist did NOT run for Governor in 2010, they ran against and lost to Marco Rubio (a Cuban conservative TeaBagger). Rick Scott ran against Alex Sink and won by only 1% (50,000 votes)!

[crazycatladybj]

@cemott3rd Yes you are right- I was up way too late when i wrote that.! I don't think Alex Sink was known well enough, do you?

[cemott3rd]

@crazycatladybj I think your confussion is a prime example of why there is now a problem. Gov. Charlie Crist deciding to run for the Senate seat overshadowed the Gobenatorial race some much, it wasn't even apparent there was a Governors race until the attack ads began to run in Oct. Then our choices were froom bad to worse, I just understand why with such a close election Alex Sink didn't demand a recall...

[jmjfanss]

@crazycatladybj

I Vote for alex snitker, both parties and that so-called independent are corrupt as usual.

and gay ass grayson voted for obamacare which is just as bad.

there is no lesser of two evils, we have the evil of two lessers.

[3EKL]

Good to see Alan Grayson back in action. We need him back in office or regularly on TV.

[NLM1216]

@juanco0753 Clearly, you are "best for" proving my point. Graduate from high school, then rejoin the discussion.

I live in Florida, and I didn't vote for Rick Scott, because it was absolutely apparent that he was as corrupt a politician as they come. So what's best for me, as a resident of Florida, and as part of the collective of people in discussion, I would say it is my business.

[NLM1216]

@juanco0753 Juan is a prime example of why cutting funding for education is not a great idea. Clearly, Florida needs educators to teach idiots like Juan about grammar, punctuation, and the difference between a governor who wants what's best for the people and one who wants what's best for his bank account.

@7ov9 Don't ask Juan to do any math. It would only confuse him.

[juanco0753]

@NLM1216 You are not the best for anything. The best for the people is their own business.

[juanco0753]

Rick is the best and we the Floridians are proud of it. No more big government, people rules now.

[KreemieNewgatt]

We live in a kleptocracy

[dasUBootVII]

@KreemieNewgatt ....which is synonymous with plutocracy

[ShaktiLila]

Time for the all the Corporate Criminals to be held to responsibility here in the U.S.A. The balance of power is shifting back to the people, because the people are having to stand up and consciously demand that it be so, as is the case in America's Heart Land of Wisconsin.

[maryleeadler]

We didn't all vote for this crook, but it's time to gather a majority and begin recall proceedings. He bought the office; in this democracy that doesn't mean he owns it.

[juanco0753]

Governor Rick Scott believes in individual salvation. I think his changes help to build companies without of the stress of higher taxation. Sadly, I see many people in this forum upset about what he is doing. Listen, I am from Venezuela and something I learned is when the government is big and corrupts you becomes dependable, the investors run away, and the unemployment increase beside the inflation. So do your math.

[dasUBootVII]

@juanco0753 ...why don't YOU do some math...currently in this so called "land of opportunuty and freedom" we have more laws than people...I mean literally there are three "laws" for every two people in America and nearly every solitary damned one of them is a vested interest law which means it is calculated to further implement the stink rich bleeding ever more and more off the beleaguered working class....unemployment in the U.S. right now has been estimated to be as high as 40% .

[dasUBootVII]

America has most decidedly become the land of the dirt poor and far filthier and dirtier stink rich...in so many words, a dismal Hell of share croppers and share holders with an extinct middle class. You DO NOT create jobs by taxing the food right out of the mouths of working class people and using their hard earned money to financially aggrandize the stink rich parasites who have ruined this country...it has never once worked in history and it sure as the hell won't ever here.

[dasUBootVII]

Rick Scott's carcass desecrating the Florida governor's mansion can only be described as a Diebold Moment. If the Moron Majority of Florida are so brain dead as to put a self-aggrandizing parasite like him in as governor, then they wouldn't have sense to go on breathing and they would all keel over dead. Come to think of it, maybe they ARE all dead and just forgot which way "down" is....I can see that Florida and Californicate have much in common....all of the wrong things. 

[7ov9]

@dasUBootVII I can agree with you on Florida being brain dead, but not with you on California - California may be sexuallly promiscuous, but at least they had the sense to elect a governor who wasn't a crook.

[dasUBootVII]

@7ov9 .......they did, granted, keep a crook OUT of the governor's office.....Megabucks Whitman

[7ov9]

@juanco0753 No Juan - you do the math!!! 9% unemployment IS the result of the rich getting richer!!! This is America and it was built on the sweat of the middle class. ANYTHING that weakens the middle class weakens what the middle class has built - America. Class dismissed, but you Juan have to stay after class and write 1000 times on the blackboard "The middle class IS America!".

[juanco0753]

@7ov9 It is ignorance of the left that kill jobs and still debating with false arguments and the platonic ideas of the redistribution of wealth that never worked in Russia.

[7ov9]

@juanco0753 Juan go to the principal's office....now! You also need a geography lesson as the U.S. is not Russia and the only effort to redistribute wealth is to LOWER the wages and benefits of the middle class and then GIVE that money to the rich so they can become RICHER. That is the OPPOSITE of communism and socialism. If you want to return to some pre-industrial era where there was no middle class, go ahead.

[drf5]

One is tempted to say the people of Florida made their bed, and now they have to lie in it. Perhaps if it gets bad enough, we'll see a backlash against Gov. Scott and his type.

Most important: if you cut education that much, the next generation of Americans will grow up to be ignorant and unskilled--and Florida currently has nearly 4 million school-aged children (Texas has far more, but that's another story). This makes a mess for us all.

[MGperez21]

As a Floridian, I'm terrified.

[jayseah32]

I've seen some fools in my life, but an ENTIRE state...? That's a first. How in god's name did the electorate in Florida manage to collectively go "brain dead' to put this crook in office? Corruption has got to reign supreme in that state.

[cujomade101]

Government isn't a business!

[cri8tor]

Rick Scott = Tool

[seamoremonster]

Rick Scott the grinning undertaker.

[dasUBootVII]

I solemnly hate both parties in this country....Alan Grayson is a democrat, but nonetheless, I believe that of all the 535 members of that tax funded country club on Capitol Hill, Grayson tells it like it is...that is hideously rare in this country now. It's about time when someone in office starting telling some of these self-anointed godalmighties where the bear shit in the buckwheat and Alan's the man to do the job....he is the only one to stand up to the holiest of all holies , Bernanke

[Stonehawk]

@dasUBootVII sadly... he's not even in office anymore. They voted him out. It's ... it's disgusting. I have no respect for Florida, now.

[jmjfanss]

@Stonehawk

Obamacare anyone?

that's why people voted these dumbocrats out in 2010, people were truly pissed off at how america has become.

rick scott is corrupt, alan grayson is a scumbag who voted for obamacare which is horrible, it's time for the libertarian or constitution party to step up to the plate this time and I Mean it.

[ericksons4]

You guys elected this theif for your governor ? What is wrong with you ? 300 million and he is a crook ? Probably got KOCH money too.  Pled the 5th 75 times and Florida voters (old sick retired people) who he made his money off of did this ? What is wrong with that picture, do any of them read ?

[aquawoman12]

I know someone who has been unemployed long enough to have run out of UE compensation, is the caretaker of 2 elderly disabled family members and when they became unemployed needed all the compensation money to make the bills so had no taxes taken out. They still have no job and now owe nearly 500.00 to the IRS. Someone tell me how this is fair when the rich and corp. get all the tax breaks?

[davidasul]

Rick Scott is a predator. He gives his pals in his wolf pack big money, while feeding off bigger herds of people. It really says a lot about gullible Florida voters, who actually buy in to the lies. If they're suckering for it, what does it say about them? easy prey.

[Dickinseattle]

The Republican elitist autocrats want to take over the education of our children in profit making public schools so they can teach them about creationism of 6,000 total years of life on Earth as they know it. (Good luck in college! They'll have to go to their own bogus colleges to get an advanced degree in B.S.)

[RBLA818]

Please Find a Cure for Neocons ASAP!

[4rife]

Florida got exactly what it deserves. They were stupid enough to vote Grayson out of office and frankly, I don't give a damn what happens to them.

As far as I'm concerned, Florida is a huge concentration of republikon jackasses to deserve all the slime office they can get and boy do they have a good start with scott, the fraud master.

[patginsd]

We need Alan back!

[1Natick1]

A lot of people seem to have a difficult time listening to the straight out truth. That makes problems for all the rest of us too.

You might not like Grayson much, but he never, ever doesn't tell the truth, so you should listen carefully when he speaks. You might learn something important to you.

[bqvideo]

In addition to Reagan adding over $2 trillion to the federal debt and Bush Jr. adding over $7 trillion to the federal debt, they each expanded government to epic proportions and set up massive budget deficits that are now almost impossible to reduce. All the corporations and contractors in the various Congressional Districts want to continue getting their hand-outs. Never forget...we currently are in the Republican Great Recession.

[bqvideo]

Hey, ncarkitek. No one cares what YOU say, you uninformed cretin. ignoramuses like you have allowed the corporate world to take over our country.

[olheelbone42]

Floridians, you had a chance to vote for an honest, hard working man and you chose this creep instead??? What were you thinking? And Tea Party, what has turned your brains into mush, blindingly following your uber rich backers and campaigning for disgusting dogs like this who certainly do NOT have the best interest of your nation in mind. Please wake up, ALL of you!

[bqvideo]

In a recent email, Alan Grayson said "Reagan added $1 trillion to the federal debt," and that "Bush Jr. added $4 trillion to the federal debt, " He was incorrect. Reagan added over $2 trillion to the federal debt and Bush Jr. added over $7 trillion to the federal debt. We shouldn't be considerate to these crooks and let them off the hook.

[somiamijoe]

I think we Floridians are in for trouble. Corporate tax cuts that equal Education cuts? We need to fund education. 45 dollar tax cuts for the people, the question is how much will Rick Scott get? Anyone who spends 72 million to get a job that pays 130,000 a year is up to something that definitely isn't good for us common Floridians..

[debbieL53]

Alan. I agree with YOU. However, as you know, elections have consequences. And Rick Scott is one of them. So is Scott Walker in Wisconsin. Both rich 'businessmen'. CEO's. They flat out lied (with help from their friends) (thanks to Citizen's United). But there's a caveat here Sir. The PEOPLE of those states voted for them. And now you and I (and them too!) will have to live with the consequences of those actions. I think you're starting to see 'voter remorse' (at least in Wisconsin).

[flippeters]

Fortunately the public outcry in Wisconsin has proven that not all Americans want to live in a Charles Dickens novel.

[maniacmom1221]

Wishing there was another choice between thumbs up or down......I really do not understand how he won the election.

[maloneymk]

I like Grayson.... and I care about what he has to say and Mr. "Douchbag" Carkitak - you need an education. Too bad you only know how to curse and belittle people.

[bubba28871]

Whether you like Alan Grayson or not, how can any one honestly want to cut public school funding by such a huge amount so that they can save $44 a year on property tax? Rick Scott is the worst thing to happen to Florida in a long time.

[Yankhadenough]

@bubba28871 I am a native over 50, I can guarantee you Rick Scott is the WORST thing to happen to Florida in my lifetime. I have been able to roll with the punches of 5 eyes of hurricanes, but his damage is hard to overcome, but WE WILL OVERCOME!!!

[fanadfilms]

@bubba28871 You went to moron high with him? He's a socialist idiot. He wants to grow the size of government while reducing the role of the private sector. And the Young Turks are morons. All of them.

I want Grayson out of office.

[ncarkitek]

Douche bag, you are a FORMER congressman for a reason. Why don't you just crawl back under your rock and keep your ugly mug to yourself. No one cares what you say!!!
