TPBlue4 Now tell the citizens of Florida who's going to start paying services, that Disney pays for now

This is political retribution by a tyrannical unhinged megalomaniac governor and should be immediately appealed to the SC.

Liberals are mad that Disney now....no longer has a special status and will be treated like every other business in Florida. Don't see what's wrong with this.

This is government punishment as retaliation for putting out an opinion. This is a direct threat to the first amendment. We don’t have free speech if republicans can attack you for an opinion they don’t like.

This is so stupid.

Hope the people of Orlando like the tax increase DeSantis is about to sign into law for them.

Here come the democrats angry that a multi billion dollars corporation is about to pay their FAIR SHARE 😂

Pedos mad lol

Awesome

should’ve never been a law

Disney should leave Florida.

The so called party of “limited government” is using the power of the state to punish a corporation for exercising their 1A rights. Oh the GOP seems happy to raise taxes on the middle class. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in court.

So what are they going to do when Disney doubles ticket prices to cover the additional tax?

They are estimating it will increase taxes by around 2,200 to 2,500 dollars a year.

fucked around they did. find out they will soon.

GOP really trying to openly control every facet of Floridian lives…feel kinda bad for those Floridians having a $2300-$2800 tax increase…

A purely obvious and petty example of dictatorial revenge for disagreeing with him. He's even more like Putin than Trump was.

Governmental retaliation against corporate speech. Real Republicans and conservatives would oppose this kind of unconstitutional act. But performance trolls will love this. This is not deliberative governance - did they even calculate the numerous costs?

Democrats could exploit this stupid move relentlessly mocking DeSantis day and night but will they? Nah. Probably not.

Disney should pull out of Florida. Let the racist, homophobic, far-right Republicans stew in their own mess. Ron DeSantis is a nasty little man, and the Floridians who support are as thick as horse manure.

Republicans don’t care about free market

This guy is gonna rue the day he messed with Disney I guarantee Disney will be around a lot longer then deathsantis
