Of course there are critics who believe that no matter what we do, the Florida dream is over. They claim that we must accept the idea that inevitably our future is one of high taxes and big government.

Big government helps the people who have made it. It doesn't help the people who are trying to make it; it crushes the people who are trying to make it.
