It will never happen, but I have heard that there is a big problem in Florida with taxes being spent in an unfair manner.

not really, Florida has always stayed within budget. The problem is that a bill that passed that cut taxes is making itso they have to cut funding everywhere.

It wasn't that Florida was spending too much, it is that all the taxes collected in Southern Florida are spent on Northern Florida because that is where the capital and the politicians are.

Kind've reminds me of the US prior to the Civil War.  The majority of the federal government's revenue came from tariffs paid by Southern farmers, yet the far more populous North got to decide where all the money was spent (and decided when to increase tariffs whenever they pleased, like the tariff of 1828). 

I say more power to the people of Southern Florida.  If the motion passes, then it will prove that Americans have at least some say in how much power the government has these days.
