Voting time is coming around kiddies and it is time to let Uncle Charlie know that his tax cut for the rich is about as good an idea as a hot poker up the pooper. The Times has a good story today about how our public safety folks (police, firefighters, etc.) feel about what these tax cuts actually mean. Be sure to read up, voting like a douche is worse than not voting at all!

They (public safety officials) say an earlier property tax rate rollback approved by Crist and the Legislature has already forced cuts in their budgets and Amendment 1 will make it worse at a time when taxpayers want more services, not less.

Imagine that! When taxes are lowered, that means less money going to the gov’t. Now, I agree with you that the gov’t is a dark, evil, no good entity not to be trusted, however they do provide a variety of helpful services like arresting homeless people and such. Less money going in means less money to pay these folks, which inevitably means cuts - no way to talk yourself out of this Charlie. But, give it a try just for shits and giggles:

Crist has described the predictions of police and firefighter layoffs as a scare tactic… “I don’t believe there will be a dropoff, whether it’s fire protection or police protection,” Crist said. “Most people in local government are good, responsible stewards.”

Ah yes, begin by insulting them, that’s always a good idea. And guess what, dicktard? Being responsible stewards means cutting money in other areas to avoid cutting public safety dollars. You know, like social, cultural, after school, disability support and a whole asston of other services. Sorry, you fail.

So remember kids, vote no on 1. $9.3-billion in cuts sure as shit doesn’t make sense when all you’ll see is $20/month.
