Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D) said Sunday that he would increase taxes on corporations in the state to help fund his plan to provide Medicare for all.

Gillum was pressed on CNN's "State of the Union" about his pledge to provide medical care for everyone in his state, including how he would pay for it.

"I don’t buy that," Gillum said when asked if higher taxes are a prerequisite of Medicare for all. "I will absolutely not raise taxes on everyday working Floridians."

Corporations will just raise prices on everyone which in fact raise taxes on everyday people. Freakin idiots.

I consider LLCs and chapter S corporations “everyday working folk.”

I guess we’ll have to incorporate out-of-state if this dimwit gets in. I’ll pay a dollar to my CPA for every dime he saves from the leviathan’s gullet.

If this man becomes governor Florida will become another big state the Democommunists f***ed up! It won’t happen. I think enough people in Florida know this clown will ruin their state! At least I hope so!

As a Floridian since 2004, it's my opinion that this guy will be a flat-out disaster for the state. I live in Jacksonville and have been witnessing nearly a non-stop building spree as jobs arrive. He'd turn Florida into California. Jobs would flee.

Gillum won't tax corporations or join other states to pay for Medicare for all because he won't be elected Governor!

Yes, they really know how to confuse “the little people”. Andrew Jackson called them “the common man.”
