Oh wait...y'all could pick oranges. We would be serving far fewer people and have a more sustainable ecosystem. Those pension checks would still be rolling in. If you don't need as many services, you don't need as many taxes. 40 years ago, most people around here were in agriculture, fishing or retired and the service industry although much smaller, served those people. Florida would be a far more liveable state if 10 million people moved back up north. |
