Ron DeSantis: Florida Does Not Shut Business Down, Florida’s Revenue Is up to $330 Million

‘They want to do business here’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DeSANTIS: “You can say that again, Maria. Our home sales year-over-year, 2020. Up 24%. A lot of people fleeing locked towns. We have focused protection on elderly people rather than trying to shut the entire society down. At the front and back of the pandemic, I borrowed hospitals from discharging Covid patience back into nursing homes. That was able to save a lot of lives on the front and back and now here on hopefully the back and back of the pandemic, our approach to vaccination is putting seniors first. Focusing on 65 and up. Reported over 1.1 million seniors and of gotten a shot in the state of Florida. That’s almost 25% of our enormous 4.5 million senior population. We think it’s really important. That’s for the most riskiest. We also understood we have to have schools open to every parent in Florida has a right to send their kid to in person instruction. Private, charter, public, you name it. We also say everybody has a right to work. Government, local government can’t shut you down. They can’t prevent you from earning a living. They can’t prevent businesses from operating and the result has been in the month of December, our revenue to the state of Florida and we have very low tax rates, it was up $330 million over the estimated revenue. People are coming. They want to do business here. They want to invest here and I will tell you I run into people that say I was working remotely in whatever state, lock down stay, and schools were close so I said the heck with this. I am moving to Florida. Quality of life is better and I can send my kid in person instruction and I think we’ve understood Covid Israel. Focus on your elderly population. But you can’t run your society into the ground. Kids need to be in school. People need to be able to earn a living.”
