In building it's fortune the Morse family also changed a seriously poor county in Florida into one of it's best in terms of employment and business. And...if you build a better mouse trap is not the same as robbing from the poor.

Gary Morse could be a really corrupt person, I certainly don't know him personally, few do, but I see hundreds of ways that he could easily have given us less and made more money. The next time you are in any of the rec centers, regional, neighborhood, just lift one of the card chairs in the meeting rooms. Wait, before you do that, look around at the room and see all of the really expensive things hanging on the walls, the too many chandeliers on the ceiling, the unusual and high end floors...than lift the heavy chair that matches the decor of the building. It could have been a folding chair and he could have kept the money.

If you have played golf all of your life as many of us have, than you know the expense that it entails. If you are a golfer you know what is offered here, enough said on that. If you are aware of landscaping and the cost to maintain it, than look at the lush places, blooming waving, and dazzling with their color and the flowers changed out every six weeks.

Gary Morse is a very rich man. I know some rich folks and it seems that they got rich by getting up early and working hard.

Kudos to you Gracie!! I so agree with you and don't understand why "some" are so suspicious and negative about the Morse family and blah, blah, blah. This kind of discussion has gone on before and frankly it's been hashed and rehashed. Alot of folks try to rub two nickles together to make more cash....some are greatly successful and others are not for whatever reason. Our country was founded on "Free Enterprise" and many are knocking at it's doors to come and try to find their dream here in the U.S. Mr Schwartz had an idea and ran with it...then his kids came along and took it further to what we have today. I personally love it here and am thankful each day for the blessings AND privilege we have to live here. IF these folks who are disparaging don't like it here, perhaps there is a better, more reasonable place to live. Just saying.........
