What They Really Want

As the November election fades in the rear view mirror questions have been raised about what the public "really" wants. These questions have been raised, for example, by the public union strikers in Wisconsin - as in the public "really" likes things the way they are. Well, the mayor of Miami just found out what the public really wants and we no longer have to guess.

The Honorable Mayor Carlos Alvarez (a Republican by the way) raised property taxes in Miami-Dade County Florida by a whopping 40% and used it to give raises to city/county employees. The voters were not amused and he just lost a recall election by the equally whopping margin of 88% - 12%. The next time you hear someone presume to say what the public wants - more government spending - just say, "Remember Carlos" followed shortly thereafter by "Bite me!"
