When Rick Scott ran for Governor he promised to "create jobs" and "turn our economy around". I voted for Alex Sink because Rick Scott has always been a corrupt, scandal ridden businessman, not a politician. While politicians usually disappoint us and rarely keep their promises, Rick Scott is refreshing for the upper 1% because he’s keeping his word of serving only corporate interests and the wealthy.

At best, his policies are helping to attract businesses to our state that offer no benefits to employees, slave labor wages, part-time only, and which get people to settle into the idea of poverty, hunger, and despair as "normal". At worst, he is damaging the jobs already in the state such as those provided by the citrus industry through research funding cuts and education through the push for privatization of schools. Some of the "special interests" are attacking the Governor for making decisions that effect our economy negatively and showing lack of interest in the needs of the average Floridian while favoring the economic interests of the wealthy.

Rick Scott deserves our unwavering and complete condemnation. How can we expect to recover from these hard times if we continue to elect leaders who tirelessly work against what’s right for our state and it's people?
