TBayXXXVII 2,145 Posted April 20, 2022 I'm not so sure this is a good thing.Β Β According to this article, Disney is paying about $550M annually in taxes to the two counties it resides in as well as the to the state.Β If Crowder is right, they state would get an extra $200M, but apparently, "If the RCID were eliminated, control of the 40+ square miles owned by Walt Disney World would go back to the two counties it straddles β Osceola and Orange. They would have to provide the fire protection, emergency medical services, permitting services and other governance that Disney now does for itself. And they would be doing it without more tax money." Β I always thought that Disney was always doing the state of Florida a huge favor in taking on costs like this, to which they could very easily with the money they bring in.Β Something tells me that this is a very bad idea for the state and a non-issue for Disney.

RLLD 3,464 Posted April 21, 2022 I recall reading in months past that this pursuit of tax status was already being reviewed, and not just for Disney, so this might be some political posturing on the part of DeSantis to make it look like he is striking back at Disney when in reality its more of him taking advantage of the moment. That being said, if companies want to throw their political opinions into the world, then let them suffer the consequences, or they can simply be a business and do their thing, STFU and make money.Β or perhaps they can lose money, I wonder if their investors will not start to take notice of the radical agenda and how it is impacting stock value and then shy away from these corrupt entities. I love it that DeSantis is standing up for the 99% and defending parental rights. Thank god there are still sane people standing up for simple common sense.Β 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
