If you answered, CEO Rick Scott (R-a prick with ears), you would be wrong. It appears that our state is being guided by four entities: The Reason Foundation, the Cato Institute, and the Heritage Foundation. The fourth entity? That would be the ouija board that Scott uses as backup should the Internet go down.
According to a recent newspaper report Scott plans his agenda based on opinions published by these conservative think-tanks and the fortune telling game that many believe brings on demonic possession. After enduring Scott's first couple of months in office it is not hard for me to believe that he is possessed.
What about these so-called think-tanks?
The Reason Foundation had a long article posted on-line in January that enumerated 3 billion reasons why high speed rail in Florida was a bad idea. Mr. Picklehead of Florida must have thought that was a real peachy article and as a consequence, no high speed rail for the state. And, silly you! You thought nixing high speed rail was his idea? Scott's own D.O.T. contradicted that article, but Scott ignored them. How nice!
The Heritage Foundation bills itself as "a public policy think-tank that promotes the principles that made America great: free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense." Two of the Heritage Foundation's strongest supporters are - Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Said Limbaugh, "Some of the finest conservative scholars alive today live, work, and breathe at the Heritage Foundation." And, Rick Scott looks to these two and the foundation for guidance?
The Cato Institute promotes individual liberty, free markets, and peace on their web site and appears to be a regular on the FOX "The Invent The News Network." That in itself causes me to question their validity as a think-tank and more as a propaganda machine for the right-winger ideologies.
All three of these entities are entitled to their opinions and I am glad that we live in a country where all citizens are free to express themselves in an intelligent, civilized manner. My problem is with Scott. He alleges that "he" knows what is best for the State of Florida and that "he" will run the state his way. I might not have as much of a problem with this crook if he listened to the people of Florida, but obviously Scott puts his trust in these three think-tanks and a ouija board.
Is this really what 49% of Florida's citizens who even bothered to vote wanted as a governor? If so, then the state is in some seriously deep shit.
