... you an engineer building bridges and repairing infrastructure. Because it's easier to rip of Medicare from an air-conditioned office. Then standing in the hot sun in a hard hat building bridges.

What an ass !!!

In the 1950s and 1960s, when the economy was booming, the wealthiest Americans paid a top income tax rate of 91%. Today, the top rate is 43.4%.

At 70%, YOU, Rick Scott, can pay to repair bridges and build tunnels.

That works for me!
