Channel: MSNBC
[1]
a republican governor who wants to be
[3]
president now has an accomplishment
[5]
unlike
[6]
any other governor in history florida
[9]
governor ron desantis has now signed
[12]
into law a bill that will create the
[16]
single biggest property tax increase
[19]
in history 25
[23]
that is how high property taxes will go
[27]
how much higher they will go
[29]
in orlando area after ron desantis
[32]
signed a law that repeals disney's
[35]
special status in that area property
[38]
taxes around disney world are going to
[40]
increase
[42]
by 25
[44]
thanks to republican governor ron
[45]
desantis
[47]
disney world pays taxes to the counties
[49]
that surround it disney paid 40 million
[52]
dollars last year to orange county
[54]
and will continue to pay that but disney
[57]
will no longer have to pay the special
[59]
taxes
[60]
in the geographic area that it controls
[63]
because republicans in the florida
[66]
legislature and the republican governor
[67]
rushed a bill through the legislature
[70]
that repeals the disney special status
[72]
in that area which means
[76]
they repealed
[78]
disney's obligation to pay
[81]
163
[83]
million dollars a year
[85]
for the right to in effect govern the
[88]
area that its property is located on now
[92]
because these are republicans that we're
[94]
talking about
[95]
it is very unlikely that they had any
[98]
idea what they were actually doing when
[101]
they tried to penalize disney by
[104]
dissolving its special status to operate
[106]
what they call the reedy creek
[109]
improvement district
[111]
where disney world is located
[115]
the moment that reedy creek doesn't
[117]
exist is the moment that that those
[118]
taxes don't exist you're literally
[121]
taking 163 million dollars a year of
[123]
taxes at disney pacific creek and wiping
[125]
it down to zero
[128]
that is scott randolph the orange county
[131]
tax collector he knows what's going to
[133]
happen
[134]
now that florida republicans threw away
[137]
163 million dollars in local tax revenue
[141]
from disney
[144]
i don't see how orange county doesn't
[145]
raise property taxes by 20 to 25 percent
[148]
20 25
[150]
that's what orange county would probably
[151]
have to do to cover this financial
[153]
situation
[155]
no governor in history
[157]
prior on descendants has done
[159]
anything to increase anyone's property
[163]
taxes by 25
[165]
that's never happened before
[168]
if you're paying 10 000
[170]
in property taxes in orange county
[172]
florida now
[173]
you will be paying
[175]
at least 12 500 in property taxes when
[179]
this law takes effect in 2023 and thanks
[183]
to donald trump and washington
[184]
republicans none of that property tax
[187]
increase will be tax deductible to you
[190]
zero republicans in washington
[192]
effectively eliminated the tax
[194]
deductibility of property taxes
[197]
randy fein thinks the republican florida
[200]
legislature is a hornet's nest he said
[203]
quote
[204]
you kicked the hornet's nest things come
[207]
up
[208]
and randy fine
[210]
is proud of the hornet's nest and being
[214]
a hornet himself
[216]
republican representative randy fine was
[218]
the sponsor of the bill to eliminate the
[221]
special disney district which eliminates
[224]
163
[226]
million dollars in disney taxes
[230]
hornets are profoundly stupid creatures
[233]
and so randy finds self-comparison to
[236]
hornets
[237]
could not be more apt it is now
[241]
republican doctrine
[243]
that government taxation and regulation
[245]
of businesses should not be based on
[247]
economic theory but should be based on
[249]
how friendly and supportive and
[251]
encouraging any individual business is
[254]
two
[255]
republicans
[257]
that is the governing principle
[259]
on business regulation and taxation in
[261]
the state of florida now and no doubt
[264]
among washington republicans they used
[266]
to pretend
[267]
campaign contributions had nothing to do
[270]
with it they used to pretend it was all
[272]
about economic theory and now actually
[274]
they have a point
[276]
when they say campaign contributions
[278]
have nothing to do with it because
[281]
there is apparently no amount of money
[283]
that you can hand over to republicans to
[286]
buy political protection from them
[289]
if you ever publicly disagree with
[292]
anything they say or do
[295]
disney contributed
[297]
10.5
[300]
million dollars to donald trump in the
[302]
presidential campaign year of 2020 and
[304]
in the same year disney contributed 1.2
[307]
million dollars to joe biden's
[309]
presidential campaign it is very common
[311]
for corporations to give to both sides
[313]
and it is very common for them to favor
[316]
and sometimes heavily favor one side
[319]
disney might have thought
[321]
that by investing 10 to 1
[324]
in donald trump over joe biden
[326]
but as a corporation
[328]
they proved their republican loyalty
[332]
but that's not good enough anymore now
[334]
republicans want corporations money
[337]
and they want corporations to surrender
[340]
freedom of speech they want disney and
[342]
disney officials to surrender their
[344]
first amendment rights in order to do
[346]
business in florida
[348]
the self-proclaimed hornet randy fine
[351]
does not believe that anyone working at
[354]
disney has any right to voice an opinion
[357]
about the florida legislature's new law
[360]
governing what public school teachers
[362]
can and cannot say
[363]
about human sexuality and that is why
[368]
florida republicans have erased disney's
[370]
163 million dollar tax bill and given
[374]
that tax bill to local property
[377]
taxpayers in the orlando area
[380]
randy fein says
[382]
that one of the reasons disney has no
[385]
right to an opinion about anything that
[388]
the florida government does is that
[390]
disney is a guest
[392]
a guest in the state of florida that's
[395]
his word guest
[397]
little does he know there is no such
[398]
thing as a guest
[401]
in law
[402]
the snowbirds that travel from the north
[405]
of the of the country to spend the
[407]
winter in florida
[409]
all have the same rights of the people
[411]
who live in florida every day of the
[413]
year
[414]
they don't surrender a single right when
[416]
they visit the state
[417]
temporarily and if they spend enough
[420]
time in the state every year they have
[421]
the right to vote in florida so randy
[424]
fein has invented the notion that disney
[428]
is a guest
[430]
in the state of florida
[432]
even though disney
[433]
has been in the state of florida
[436]
longer than randy fein has been alive
[439]
and longer than ron desantis has been
[442]
alive
[444]
the biggest difference
[446]
between ron desantis
[448]
randy fine and the vengeful hornets they
[452]
compare themselves to
[454]
is that hornets
[456]
never try to justify who they attack
