By 50-27% margin, Florida voters prefer national flat tax to progressive income tax

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary)  |  January 27th, 2012 at 11:50 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

A recent Florida poll by  7NEWS/Suffolk University (PDF) asked this question:  ”Would you prefer a flat tax for all taxpayers to pay which would replace the current progressive federal tax code?”

Fifty percent said “yes,” only 27% said “no,” and 23% were undecided.

Romney was leading Obama 47-42% in the poll.

    Newts Comeback by Ron Claiborne ABC stated she made several comebacks after problems and poor choices using drugs etc. The tribute to Etta is appropriate but why do people say and do nice things after ones death. To all who are unfair to some and accepting of others failures. Newt has made mistakes so does he deserve the right to change and correct his mistakes or is that left in the hands of the media and hateful vicious people. In living we find some people are rude, attacking with words behind ones back or to the public with the intention to diminish and destroy, much like Mitt Romney’s Attacks on Newt Gingrich. I realize both are alive but I will guarantee you Mitt would send flowers say nice things if Newt faced loss of life. I then point out Mitt is a Vicious Ruthless person who likes to FIRE employees and destroy peoples Dreams. I ask you to really look at this guy called Mitt and think man think, is this or the guy in white house really up front honest or are they great pretenders, you don’t want them as your leader. Newt and Etta have a common bond, neither were or are or have ever been perfect, but they are forgiven and deserve to avoid attacks of hate envy by any and all. The idea to attack and destroy because of one is fearful of losing to an opponent, Mitt, for once your money can’t buy you or Obama dignity, character or respect, so Florida it is in your court to agree with a hateful, destroy others lives type of persons bid for the Nomination. Think before you vote. Etta was loved by many and God Bless Her as I’m sure God has.

    Newt is the Man of the hour. I want to wish the best and a speedy recovery to Demi Moore and wish Aston Kutcher good luck with Party times, his day will come be watching. Back to Newt, Newt I realize people have been civil and caring in the words spoken and statements made about you, NOT. I realize we all have done things that are unethical and sleazy, we’ve all at times been down right rotten as we are all human (media hollywood elected officials especially). I realize some never get hammered for their sleazy self centered behaviors, while you Newt, Sarah, have Attacked and Belittled by the MEDIA’S, George Will, Donna the Dominator, envious and self righteous potentates. I have failed at times as many others and we regain our composure and make restitution and admit and confess our wrong as Newt has done and still he is under attack. Hey on tv right now I see monkeys are being rescued by Peta animal rights activists and the movie stars, protesting using chimps in movies, hey the media made sure to show a movie with Ronald Reagan with a chimp, wow some how that is to belittle a dead president, good form cbs, abc. We are so unfair with these primates, but Newt is fair game, all you get is slung dung from Media, Hollywood and Jealous envious politicians. Maybe these peta and hollywood folks would come to support defense of aborted babies, Newt is against abortion, Good Man. Hey how can the treatment of an animal have priority over the treatment of the unborn, America is really messed up in some areas, some commit and support murder and have actually taught the subconscious to accept it as proper and fair. I hear people say the mothers right, well I have some of these woman and would chose the baby to have lived in place of the drug using, promiscuous irresponsible trash they represent. Promiscuity seems to be our new upcoming religion. When it comes to Human life Mitt Obama says pull the F, in plug.
