More Trailer Trash Removed from Florida Coast??

I came cross this Article that had me SO angry I thought that I would share with you some of the most outrageous thinking in this country, to this day I will never be more Insulted and ashamed to live in a country that allows this kind of thinking and behavior its staggering , below this crap that was written is my response in a comment I was very angry so understand that what I was writing was coming from the heart I live In a trailer and in a trailer park, and for one refuse to be describe as " Trailer Trash"

It’s happening again: According to a story in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, a whole bunch of trailer trash retirees are being evicted from a waterfront park and being replaced with rich condomites. Developer Mark Flannagan is quoted as saying, “Affordable housing doesn’t belong on the water.” Darn straight! We don’t want affordable housing anywhere along our coast. The fact that hundreds of senior citizens will have no place to go doesn’t bother us. Well, maybe it bothers us a little. It bothers Flanagan enough that he’s offering to build replacement housing “at cost” as long as the goverment provides free land. In other words, he wants a government subsidy to help him get richer and perhaps help ease his tiny, shriveled little Republican conscience. State Senator Mike “Road Rage” Bennett (R - Construction Industry) wants to make sure he gets it, too.

Bennett is one of those rock-ribbed “get government out of my life and lower my taxes” people except when it comes to his own interests. When he stands to gain, he slurps tax money better than a thousand jobless single mothers. He, too, has bought a trailer park full of non-rich retirees, and wants to pass a law forcing local governments to subsidize moves for the people he and his wealthy cronies are throwing into the street.

Bennett doesn’t consider this a conflict of interest, nor does he think property rights of mobile home residents who own their own homes are nearly as important as the property rights of multi-millionaires who own the land on which those mobile homes sit.

Okay… maybe we should throw some of the displaced people a little bone. But not at the developers’ expense. Any help they get should come from government. This can be a bit of a head-scratcher when you hear it from Bennett and other Republicans who consistently scream about “the nanny state” and cut benefits to poor people while lightening the tax load on their own crowd.

Relying on the morals of The Rich in this country to hold them back from screwing you has become dangerous. They’re back to their 1890s ways. In a more specific (and more local) sense, I regularly warn people against buying a mobile home on rented land in Florida. Indeed, my friends Gene and Mary lived in a trailer they owned in the Two Rivers park Bennett bought, but they were not affected because they moved to a resident-owned park a few months ago. Now, if Bennett or a similar land rapist wants to throw them out, it must buy Gene and Mary’s share of the park instead of kicking them out and thumbing its nose at them.

Still, even with that bit of protection, if Gene and Mary sold, where would they go? Florida has a growing number of mansions and condominiums for people who have more money than anyone can earn doing legitimate work, and plenty of slums where illegal immigrants and drug addicts are welcome to live in overcrowded dilapidation. But middle-class workers and retirees? They aren’t welcome on the waterfront, and — increasingly — they are unwelcome anywhere within 10 miles of the coast and are even starting to get pushed out of historically affordable inland Florida communities.

In a way, this is good. After all, I’ve got my little piece of Florida, and the Save Our Homes law makes it unlikely that I will be hit with giant property tax increases even if a Bennett buys a zoning exemption from the City Council and condomizes a whole lot of land near us.

So begone, trailer trash! You are not wanted. We are Republicans around here. You have no property rights and we do. You were only here on sufferance — a way for wealthy property owners, the most revered people in Florida — to derive a little income from their land while they waited for it to increase enough in value that they could sell it and buy a Palm Beach mansion.

And that day has come.

My Comment;

This makes me SO angry that someone, SO insensitive to anyone or anything is a NEW FORM OF KKK and Nazisms way of thinking...Republicans who think and act like this are NOT thinking with their heads, there are more then just older Americans living in trailer parks in south Florida,the working poor that have three jobs and still can't make ends met a gallon of milk here cast 5.99 how dare you call anyone trailer trash,some of these people have offered up their sons and daughters to fight a war over seas so you can have the freedoms that you are so easily and Greedily ready to take away from others?? honestly I am so angry I have tears in my eyes..... so if you remove affordable housing who will run your hotel?? who will run your gulf courses?? who will run your stores?? and who will be able to afford condos that are not only are ugly and poorly built ,they block the view of beaches and scenery clog up" for the most part" an already congested traffic circles that put the public at safety and put a strain on Store owners and business men in local areas with higher then normal property taxes to pay for what???..as it is the property tax in south Florida is so high very young Americans (first time home buyers) are being forced out of their homes. how greedy are you?? please don't tell me that Republicans that think this way, believe in God!!! how could you???tell me " what would Jesus do"?? the fact is the only god you believe in, folds up and can be put in your wallet the god you bow down to also can be converted into stocks and bonds!!!! this is just another Republican attempt of a stupid form of research "very little that is", it is SO out of touch that the thought of this by someone who thinks normally is mind boggling, this is why Republicans are against Stem Research they don't understand it...this is why Republicans are going to be kicked out of the white house in 2009 cause they don't deserve it, well the only good thing that will come out all of this,is if there is a god and a heaven for good hard working people, who love their country and are willing to give instead of steal , then there must be a hell where people go who do just the opposite and think this way, my suggestion to you would be to buy A LOT of Cooper tone stock with sun block and dress light cause I hear its real hot where your going...
