Republican political opportunism. That, in a nutshell, is the Sunshine State’s worst and not so well hidden tax burden.
Two stories that broke in recent days help highlight the shameful mess that the Florida GOP has made of both the state’s economy, and its tax code.
Some will object to such finger [...]

[...]Two things you should know about this edition.

People telling me that their definition of “progressive” is the only valid definition of progressive and saying I’m a bad person for disagreeing with them.
One follow-up to MW’s earlier post that stuck in my mind. Like I said most of what he wrote was just nonsense personal attacks on me. [...]
Below is the text of Mark’s comments about me. I’m not going to respond to him point-by-point, since he’s not the type to listen anyway, but I’ll just say that, as usual, he’s wrong about just about everything in this post:

Two leading Florida real progressives join this Saturday’s Mark Weaver Show, which also takes a look at the shocking capitulation of the Democratic Party, lacking any leadership from their president on the issue, in eviscerating the “public option”, which will sustain ever rising health insurance premiums.
Evening Citizens,
Here at The Rated R Revolution, we have decided to take a different route to turn people to the Democratic party. We want you to send us your video of how you are “Being an Ass” to help the Democratic party in 2010. Here are the first two examples:
