We've had a couple of Libertarian leaning governors, which is fine by me. They've been expanding the toll road network, which is also fine by me, I don't see how moving tourists from one side of the state to the other is my fiscal responsibility, if i ever use those roads I'll pay the tolls. The various "tourist taxes" pay for much of our infrastructure needs, which is fair since they utilize that infrastructure but don't pay other taxes. We pay the hotel room tax when we rent out our house, 14% is added to the tenants' bill. Sales taxes make up the difference. Florida is in very good financial shape, it ranks first or second in almost all indices compared to other states. Those who want cradle to grave welfare are free to move elsewhere, there are plenty of states they can pick from.
