(51,778 posts)Rick Scott wants to raise taxes on the Middle Class and De Santis and the Florida Republicans want to use government to retaliate against Disney. Sounds like it's going to get harder for them to carry the Jesus Cross on their backs to hide what they really are.

They create an illusion of appearing socially responsible and inclusive, but their Florida operations reuire them to work in a Republican-lead state--which goes AGAINST such values. At the end of the day, returning value to their shareholders is priority one.

(6,576 posts)about over $1Billion in bonds that have to be paid. The obligation to repay reverts to the counties Disney is located in. Taxpayers will be on the hook. Don't believe this will stand up in a court. So stupid!

(37,631 posts)It will be dollars taken from Blue State Workers and handed over to Florida to offset their tax increases.
Which means my taxes are going to go up - as they don't pay their fair share as it is.

(7,080 posts)there will be 2 counties footing the tax bill. These counties are full of scummy repubs living in gated communities. Oh, the weeping and gnashing of teeth. Can only hope it goes down.
