A government of business, by business, and for business. According to US census data from 1980 to 2008 the average income of Americans increased only $303 yet the cost of living more than doubled. According to South Florida Business Journal, "The average annual salary for Floridians ranks No. 32 nationwide" at $40,750. That's just above low-income. Chancellor Scott cares nothing for the proletariats of this great state and come election time the people's view need be equally reflective of all elective representation. Tallahassee belongs to Florida citizens not Florida members of the Business Roundtable. Wake up, speak up, stand up your earnings may be next on the chopping block.

We don't know the union side of it. What did they offer at the bargaining table and what did the owners offer? People forget history when unions did not exist. Read about it you would be shocked. You must buy at the company store. People work 20 years fired without pensions of any kind. You get injured lose limb thrown to the streets with no recourse no safety improvements. Wages were absymal while owners got mega rich. Wait second sounds familiar today. We don't want workers to have good pay, good health benefits, want fire them for any reason without consquences. Strange that we never learn from our past. Can unions be corrupt? Yes they can, but they also protect their memebers from bad bosses.
