    Its because it’s rated 5th in the country for corporate tax rates at only 5.5%. I say let them go. They will ruin the state even more since that kind of tax rate won’t help the state much, and we already know they will make further deals to move there bringing it even lower for years to come. We also know they will pay less because of loopholes as well. Great job Florida, you got the businesses but with little money to come with them so whats the point? We already know if you change that they will probably leave again so long term won’t work either.

      That’s because the money goes direct to the politicians as bribes so the ones making the decision are getting paid. As for taxes, those mostly just help people including poor people and Republicans can’t be having any of that nonsense going on. The only thing they believe in is suffering for the masses (and of course more money for themselves). If they helped people they might have a chance at making their lives better and they need them to stay poor and broken so they have an endless pool of cheap desperate labor to abuse.
