With all this talk in Florida about property taxes and home owners insurance going up and down, lay offs and cut backs have you gotten affected by any of this? And how? I recently (Up until last week) was a General Manager of a small general contracting company. Because homeowners are paying so much already they have not been renovating their homes as they were months ago. Plus there weren't any hurricanes this year, Thank God. Today I am an entrepeneur ..with all my skills it is not easy finding that perfect job. I am a realtor but business is slow right now. I am a notary public but have never advertised as such so I really don't get any business there. I am worried I won't find a job before the holidays. One of my relatives got a job with the Unemployment Office and she says lots of people are losing their jobs and coming in upset. What is happening? Why are the working people always the one to suffer? We pay taxes which always in the Governments best interest, interest rates go higher and higher, then when the city wants to fix something we still pay for it. The school system we pay for. Then when something goes wrong the same working people are the first to lose their jobs. I must of slept through my high school economics class but I wish things could go back to the way they were.

I'm afraid it will only get worse before it get's better. But I live in Buffalo,NY- the second poorest city in the country- so we've been there for a while now. Most of our jobs are over seas now and before the media started covering people loosing there homes- it had been happening for a while here. But the poor and middle class are not a government concern apparently. As long as the rich don't suffer- it will be business as usual and like I said, get worse before it gets better.
