Criminal Rick Scott

The asshole voters of Florida may once again elect criminal Rick Scott. Criminal Rick Scott should not only be in jail he should tried for treason but as bad as Rick Scott is, the voters who would elect him are far worse. 

Knowing that Rick Scott was criminal of Al Capone stature Florida voters gave gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott the nod of approval in the November 2, 2010 elections. However, Scott who beat Alex Sink in the Florida Governor’s race, admitted to 14 counts of Medicare fraud and paid the federal government more than $600 million dollars in fines for his fraudulent billing practices. Details on Rick Scott's massive criminal activity.

Florida is a fucking shit hole among states.  Florida medical gangsters commit more fraud than in Texas and California combined.
