If this is happening in Florida, what do you think Democrats new taxes will do to Wisconsin

Florida Exodus: Rising Taxes Drive Out Residents

There are many things public officials probably shouldn't do during a severe recession, but no one seems to have told the leaders in Florida about them. One thing, for instance, would be giving a dozen top aides hefty raises while urging a rise in property taxes, as the mayor of Miami-Dade County recently did. Or jacking up already exorbitant hurricane-insurance premiums, as Florida's government-run property insurer just did. Or sending an army of highly paid lobbyists to push for a steep hike in electricity rates, as South Florida's public utility is doing.

It's a timeless message yet Democrats still don't heed it.

Imagine how prosperous Milwaukee would still be if they hadn't taxed, and regulated, all the manufacturing jobs away...

Oh yea, I forgot, it's all the fault of those greedy corporations. (The ones providing the jobs in the first place I might add.)
