Florida is at the bottom of all states in paying unemployment benefits - a MAX of $275/wk. Many workers in Florida, a notorious poor pay state, are below that $275.
If DeSatin and his radical right gang in the Florida House and Senate had their way, Florida wouldn't have a Unemployment program - other than forced labor.
I don't have an issue with collecting the sales tax, but I sure do have an issue with it going towards what amounts as a corporate bailout.
The Florida GOP is the closest thing we have in this country to the old Klan.
