Phart, someone fed you a load of garbage. Don’t take my word for it. Research it in the real internet.
One last word, if the state government is willing to make your business an autonomous entity and you accept, that’s on the state. Also, calling Disney an amusement park is like calling a cruise ship a row boat. I gather you’ve never been to Disney.
Sheesh.
Why would the taxes increase? Were the people living for free off the amusement park?
County water,county sewer etc,that type infastructure is supported by the entire county,not just a company and it's assets.
The only taxes that should be going up is what Disney pays,the rest of the people should have already been paying their fair share based on property values and such.

Disney World is what it looks like if you give a corporation full control over an area of land as big as San Francisco. It's worked out great for the company, which counts on the park for 14% of its $2 billion yearly earnings. And it's been a boon for Florida as well--the park turned Central Florida into an economic powerhouse and tourism destination. It's also a huge source of employment for people living in the area, with 62,000 employees at the park alone.
Does that sound like just an amusement park?
To me it is a amusement park that employs alot of people.
I have not been there and honestly,what little I have saw of it,it might be fun for kids but adults? probably not

and this is only part of the whole Disney setup. Do you really believe that if it was just an amusement park people would continue to visit every chance they get? Disney is not just an amusement park. It’s a vacation destination like Sandals, Cancun, or Las Vegas.

Or all those other big companies getting presents from your government.

I don't think any private business is worthy of tax exemptions.
Maybe if they spend huge amounts of their profits on solving the world's problems,
I would lower their taxes on that specific amount, but there's not a lot of companies doing that, in my opinion. So they should just pay the same rate as any small company, or they'll be unfair competition.
Right-wingers are just angry now at Disney for being 'woke',
while they used to say corporations are people and have free speech.
Maybe Florida gave Disney the best deals to build Disney World there and without those deals Disney World would have been built somewhere else. It's possible that Florida benefited from that, but in the end that race to the bottom between states in taxes only deprives the taxpayer as a whole.
Without that taxes competition between states, businesses like Disney World would just choose to settle in an area where the land is cheapest or where labor is cheapest. That coincides with areas that need that business the most.
States that can afford to give huge tax exemptions might not be the states who need that business the most.

That area was low land and mostly swamps. Once he had the land he was able to go to the state and bargain for self government. If they turned him down, he could resell the land go somewhere else. The state made a good deal.
The fucking citizens have been getting a free ride for 55 years and now they are scared they might have to pay property taxes LIKE EVERYONE ELSE does to maintian infastructure.Boo fucking hoo.
The lawsuit filed last week by Florida taxpayers against the decision by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis to pass a law revoking Disney's private government was dismissed by a federal judge, WESH 2 News reported.
The lawsuit accused DeSantis and other state officials of violating the constitutional rights of taxpayers, as well as the first amendment rights of Disney, by pushing through legislation designed only to punish the company after its CEO opposed the state's Parental Rights in Education law that prohibits instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, which critics say marginalizes LGBTQ+ people.
U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga wrote that the suit was dismissed due to the federal court's lack of standing over state issues and because the law does not go into effect until July 2023, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The litigants were worried that, due to the law, local taxpayers will now have to pay for a multitude of services, such as road maintenance and a fire department, that Disney has paid for the past 55 years, Deadline reported.

Another thing. Taxes in many areas of Florida are way more expensive than other states. The only thing we don’t tax is income, but, property taxes are one of the highest in the nation.

My property taxes are $4750/Year and my house insurance is $6200. You really think “snowbirds” move to Florida for the taxes? They move here because the weather averages 70 degrees year round, and even though homes are priced sky high, when they sell their home up north, they can pay cash for one in Florida or put a big downpayment and invest the left over
FedNat is now dropping 68,200 policies to stay afloat, desperate to reduce their exposure in Florida. Florida’s Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier signed a consent order on Friday allowing FedNat to drop the policies.
and it includes the building, the household and liability insurance.
But it also doesn't include flood, which is pretty risky in some parts
of The Netherlands. It's not even possible to get flood insurance.
In property taxes I pay $300 per year, for a house worth about 3 grand
or probably around $375,000 if I sold it today.
But with all taxes included for sewage, waste and water management,
I pay around $1440 per year.
The waste taxes are the most expensive, because around 80% of all waste is recycled. We have 3 bins for paper, plastic/metals/drink-cartons and 'green'waste. What is left goes in the bin down the street.
Water management taxes are also not cheap. Those are the expenses of the provinces to keep us from flooding and drowning, because most of us live below sea level. I'm lucky, I live exactly at sea level.

Taxes are levied by the county where the property is located. Miami-Dade county is one of the most expensive counties.

One of the rules for taxing property is the starting point is the initial price you buy your home for. Then they add a whole bunch of taxes for specialty items. The county gets a big chunk. The state gets its share and the city gets its share.
It sounds like you actually pay a lot, compared to my so called 'socialist paradise', which is supposed to tax me to death.
Especially if you add up all those insurances, that's crazy.
My health insurance is the most I pay: $385/month total for both of us. Then we have $35 total/month life insurance, $47/month car insurance and with what I previously noted, that's all. And my area is also the most expensive in my country.
Income taxes must be higher for us, but if you add up all the taxes, insurances and other monthly costs for living, I think we come out cheaper, below the line.
phart is defending a lefty position
CAT is defending the corporate position
What a wealthy corporation can do, when they reluctantly say something
that most of their employees and customers want to hear.
But now Disney is angry with DeSantis, because they pay him and his friends to do their bidding and now he's 'screwing' them.
But, he is the fakest of fake populists. He's an absolute fraud.
He is super corrupt and only works for the rich, against the people.
This video from More Perfect Union shows it nicely:

I am hoping the media will talk more about the mental status of these people than in the past so the roots of the problem will be clearly visable.
THere has to be clues people are missing that if made public would help alot to curb these tragic situations.

But no we just sit on our hands and and give them praise for voicing their opinions and make street thugs out to be heroes
It’s funny how the mass killings of blacks is justified due to THEM not knowing their place but when THEY do it, it’s an uprising
The mass murderer's manifesto was largely about 'The Great Replacement' theory?
It was almost literally copied from the speech and works of TUCKER CARLSON.
His mental state was; indoctrinated with hate-filled right-wing propaganda.
Tucker has blood on his hands.
is pretty much immune to it. Sure, this guy must have an especially weak brain,
to absorb this amount of crap. But don't think he is special for his thoughts,
he's just special for acting on them like that.
First they take away all critical thinking skills from children, by calling that CRT.
Than they can fill the brain with nonsense, because it has no immunity to it.
Then you have stupid but obedient workers and a right-wing army to your disposal.
It's not a problem that is makes some people crazy enough to kill a bunch of people, that's just helpful to their cause of divide and conquer.
I challenge these hypocrites in our government that discredit that possibility to prove otherwise. The evidence is overwhelming. BUT it does not justify murder or physical harm to anyone.It is sad that some stoop to that level.
Grab the illegals, put them on a bus and ship the hell out of here is a peaceful ,non violent solution. and finish the wall ,both physically and legally with laws and preventive measures.

Also, border walls of any kind don’t work. There’s always a way to get through. Don’t you think interdiction is better?
