Rick Scott, who has reaffirmed an aggressively conservative 11-point agenda for Republicans to run on in November.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccivil war\u201d played out in publicly at a party press conference on March 1, as McConnell rebuked Scott for a proposal he said would raise taxes on millions of Americans. Scott\u2019s idea is to make all Americans pay at least a token amount of taxes, instead of many taxpayers actually getting money from the government, to make sure all Americans have \u201cskin in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott actually walked away from microphones set up outside the Senate chamber for McConnell\u2019s rebuttal of his ideas. McConnell talked like an establishment Democrat, scoffing at Scott\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>Other planks in the former Florida governor\u2019s plan include children saying the Pledge of Allegiance; elimination of questions about people\u2019s race and demographics on government forms; no more government policies based on race; stripping universities of their tax exempt status and ending their eligibility for federal aid if their application processes depend on skin color; questions about gender identity or sexual orientation; a 25 percent cut of the federal workforce; a ban on raising the debt ceiling unless war is declared; and other vows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we have no bigger plan than to be a speed bump on the road to socialism, we don\u2019t deserve to govern,\u201d Scott wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed only days later. \u201cSo, I went out and made a statement that got me in trouble. I said that all Americans need to have some skin in the game. Even if it is just a few bucks, everyone needs to know what it is like to pay some taxes. It hit a nerve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be many more attacks on me and this plan from careerists in Washington, who personally profit while ruining this country. Bring it on. The American people are fed up, and they will show that at the ballot box this November,\u201d Scott went on in his defiant op-ed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been told there are unwritten rules in Washington about what you can and cannot say. You can\u2019t tell the public that Social Security and Medicare are going bankrupt. You can\u2019t talk about term limits, because, while voters want them, nobody in Washington does. You can\u2019t talk about balancing the budget or shrinking the debt,\u201d Scott wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A conflict is emerging in Washington between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen.
