re: Florida Senate Passes Bill to End Disney’s Special Tax Jurisdiction

Ron Desantis is absolutely dragging liberals through the trash can they belong in

Finally someone that has the balls to say frick you

My President

He said he won't run if Trump runs. Assuming Trump runs, which it looks like he will right now, then no, RD won't be running. But a lot can change between now and then.

The only thing that can change this is Trump deciding not to run.

paying nearly $300 million per year in property taxes to Orange and Osceola counties, as well as about $250 million in other state taxes.

---

Which is about 10% of what they should be paying, according to what "congress" wants Big Corps to pay.
big numbers are there to sway opinion, when in reality, they are basically living for not much more than free.

If Ron Desantis pulls this off and clips those Disney nuts, he'll be the second coming of Ronald Reagan and anyone who would pull for Trump over him, is a fricking fool.

---

Reagan granted amnesty, Trump did not.

Reagan sucked.

I’m no lawyer but I don’t see how. The district was created for Disney by the Florida state legislature. Seems to me what the legislature giveth, the legislature taketh away. They are the elected representatives of the people of Florida. This the right way to do it.

---

Google "Dillon's Rule". Which says just what you said. The Florida Legislature could dissolve Orlando (or Orange County) at its next session if it wanted. Or any of the how ever many districts make up The Villages.

I'll bet you would be OK with Biden granting amnesty.

You aren't a hypocrite are you?

Reagan sucked.

I’m not sure I’d go that far, but agree that Reagan wasn’t the hard core conservative he’s made out to be. He was squishy on a lot of important domestic issues, and he didn’t press his advantage when he could and should have.

I don't know what you're saying here. I don't know what you mean by this.

Do you mean amnesty for illegals? Because if so, no.

But you people who live in some fantasy world that our southern border will close need to be godsmacked back to reality.

Short of war and war alone, that border will never close or tighten in any meaningful way, ever. No matter who's president and that's just a fricking fact. It will ebb, it will flow but it will always be damn near wide open.

Now conservatives have one choice in this and one choice only. Try and win these people over with the conservative principles that actually speak to who they are. Or they can continue to alienate them and hand them over to liberals. There is no other choice in this. You will never get what you want on the southern border. Never.

There's a reason I said Conservative and liberal and not Democrat and Republican and that's because both parties want that border wide fricking open for different reasons.

Republicans want the cheap labor, all the while pretending they want the border closed and Democrats want the votes, while not having to pretend about anything at all. They simply say come on in. For your garden variety Mexican, who do you really think holds the moral high ground on that?

Trump did better with Texas Hispanics this time around because Biden lacks many of their traditional morals. Hilary though wiped the frickin' floor with Texas Hispanics, probably because she didn't make trannies and queers front and center in her campaign.

Give Hispanics in this country what they believe is a decent democrat candidate and that's who they'll choose.

That border will not close and the Republican party needs to stop pretending it wants it closed. It's killing any hope of ever winning them over.

Yeah see the leadership and board of Disney can be changed, and probably relatively quickly at that. And perhaps changed to a more traditional vision for the company and its products. So maybe there should be some restraint in taking heavy handed action that’s irreversible or very complicated and difficult to reverse. Because Disney could just as easily find itself back in the position it was when the folks were satisfied with it.

It's an important wedge issue. As such, it's not designed to be solved, it simply exists to drive a wedge between people - kind of like abortion, guns, race, etc... These aren't real issues of governance, they're merely issues designed to distract voters away from real issues of governance.
