Voters in Orange County, Florida, recently voted to retain for 10 more years a half cent sales tax for Orange County schools. As if we aren’t taxed enough at every level of government. Why do people vote to keep certain taxes in place when they have a chance to get rid of them? The words “deceived” and “dumb” come to mind.
