House Speaker Marco Rubio said the key to "making Florida as attractive as it once was" is to build a world class education system, reduce state and local government regulation and "bring state government back to its proper size."
One out of three ain't bad. Education is one of the keys to improving Florida. You can't, of course, do that if you cut revenue and cut government, since education is government paid for by taxes. Then he lets his tax cut tourette's get the best of him again:
regulatory compliance is a tax
The logic in that statement is like saying "imprisonment is a tax on felons." Seriously, if you play loose with logic and language, you can paint anything as a tax. That doesn't make it a good argument or a legitimate way to approach government and politics. This conservative approach to government and taxation is what has Florida and the U.S. in such bad economic and social position in the first place, we need to fight this kind of nonsense at all turns.
