Below is what Florida's greedy politicians have in mind. This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and President Obama, well-versed in Constitutional Law, is well aware of this fact.

THIS MUST STOP--NOW!

If President Obama fails to take action to stop Florida's reign of "Constitutional Terrorism," then he is complicit, deliberately choosing to ignore this injustice.

Court fees

More than $300 million could be raised through a new "graduated" court-fee system, which would charge wealthier residents more.

Foreclosure filings: The fee for filing a foreclosure for a property valued between $50,000 and $250,000 would increase from $295 to $1,000. Foreclosure filings for properties over $250,000 would increase from $295 to $2,000. The foreclosure fee is in the Senate budget and is being added via an amendment to the House plan today. (Revenue: $198.5 million)

Divorce: Florida's $295 filing fee for divorces is about to get a lot pricier. For couples with assets valued at $50,000 to $250,000, the filing fee would increase to $1,000. Couples with assets of more than $250,000 would pay $2,000. The divorce tax is in the Senate budget but not the House plan. The state is expecting 72,000 divorces next year. (Revenue: $72.6million)

Death tax: Both chambers propose a new $20 fee for recording burial rights. People reserving a grace space, underground crypt, mausoleum and the like would be required to register the purchase with the county clerk and submit a $20 payment. (Revenue: indeterminate)

Probate cases: Filing fees would rise for probate cases, which involve taking guardianship of someone who is elderly or disabled or settling the estate of a deceased person. The current $280 charge would rise on a sliding scale. For cases involving estates valued at $50,000 to $250,000, the filing fee would increase to $1,000; for estates of $250,000 to $1million, the fee would increase to $2,000; for estates of $1million or more, the fee would increase to $5,000. (Revenue: $63.5 million)
