Scarier Than Halloween: Rick Scott

Republican Gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott likes to talk about "let's get to work!" He claims he has a plan to create thousands of jobs in Florida. Perhaps he'll do this by living up to his promise to bring Arizona's draconian immigration law here; hence creating a huge private prison industry as exposed in this report on National Public Radio. No wonder Sarah Palin hates NPR so much!!
Again, we see the cynical manipulation of the system by corporate America. This time, it's the "celling" of America by locking up as many people as we can. And the Republican Party of Florida, led by the Voldemort-in-a-tie Rick Scott, has been raking in the dough from two private prison companies, Geo and CCA. The companies are getting their ducks in the row for the next legislative session, so that Florida can jail all the Mexicans, Cubans, Haitians, Puerto Ricans that enter our state.
All of this explains why the Florida Police Benevolent Association, the union that represents prison guards, might be just a wee ticked at the Republican crook for Governor!


Don't let this happen, Florida!! Don't let Rick Scott take over the state!

So our taxes go up to support the people who own prisons.. and work hard to be sure those inside never get out.. Lots of money for someone in that business. But very tragic for the women and children involved!
