A former boss served on Florida Governor Rick Scott’s advisory board. The boss told me that if a company was willing to send as few as 50 jobs to Florida, the Governor would be on the phone and send a plane to pick them up. His office would act as sales rep and take them to potential sites. I was impressed.

Trump seems to be doing the same. (Incidentally, this is anecdotal, but Florida seems to be doing pretty good on jobs. I see more and more houses being built, roads being repaired, infrastructure being built and companies moving into formerly empty buildings.)

Lots of states do that, and bigger companies get tax breaks therefore that smaller companies couldn’t hope to sniff at—unless they did the outright pay to play.

The reason companies move to FL is because of the low taxes and cost of living and doing business.
