Florida Beats New York To Claim Top Spot For Millionaires

Florida has clinched the nation's No. 2 spot for millionaires.

According to new wealth stats released by the I.R.S. Florida had 199,000 residents with a net worth of $1.5 million or more as of 2004 (their latest period). That topped New York's count of 168,000, though it still trailed way behind leader California, which boasted 428,000-more than a fifth of the nation's total.

Isn't that amazing! Florida has more millionaires than New York!!!

Well, isn't that special!!!

After 8 years of the Bush Regime, 2 terms of Jeb Bush as Governor, 2 years of Charlie Crist as Governor (I think he's still the governor, hard to tell though, he's never there, too busy hiding in the the closet) and a Republican State Congress, we also have a $12 BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT!!

Where are the cuts being made? Public schools, Foster programs, health care for the poor, disabled and Senior Citizens (imagine that, in the retirement capital of the world), WIC programs for women and infant children, public roads and bridges and middle-class state jobs.

The Great State of Florida is officially in a Great State of Recession.

But, we have more millionaires than New York!!! WOW! Thank you, Mr. President for your tax cuts for the filthy rich. It has cost Florida $12 Billion.

You would think with all the tourist and drug money coming into this state, the government would be sending US checks. But, thank goodness, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Donald Trump don't have anything to worry about.

Oh, and don't forget about O.J. Florida is also a "Judgment Free" state, they can't take your house. So the next time you butcher two people and lose a $32 million dollar law suit, you can just move to Florida and play golf for the rest of your life!!
