The Breakdown of Florida's Tax System and the Need for a State Income Tax

More tears and drama on today's show: Callous Republican budget slashing and need for a state income tax. Backlash is forming but biggest problem in Florida is Progressives are cowering in fear of the Right Wing and need political psychoanalysis. We need a visionary bold movement. Republicans slashing $2 billion. My vision for nursing homes.

Right Wing Bias at the Miami Herald (part 1 of 2)

"Florida's FOX", a special report on right wing media bias at the state's biggest paper, The Miami Herald. A content analysis of every story the paper ran on Iran, Israel/Palestine, Cuba and Venezuela in January reveals shocking, unprofessional, one-sided ideological bias. Special guests Mark Kmetzo of the Florida Media Project and new Florida Media Reform Coordinator Mark Hart.

Florida's Dysfunctional Regressive Tax System

Hey There, we've got yet another blockbuster this week, about the #1 issue in Florida, our dysfunctional, regressive tax system and the need for a comprehensive overhaul. Special guest is James Tait, executive director of the Florida Center for Fiscal & Economic Policy, coming on around 10am. Tait was Gov. Reubin Askew's economic advisor and chief of staff. But we start the show with the second installment of readings from Naomi Wolf's "The End of America" on the fascist shift.
