You guys have it all wrong, what you really want is "free" healthcare and higher taxes. Canada is where its at. But from my experiance of Flordia when I've been (yes vacation) it sucked.
In all seriousness though, I've never lived in florida, but I have been there twice, and I didn't really like it. It's very hot and humid. Muggy at the best of times and is filled with hicks and old people.
