Florida is Joining Texas in Poaching California Jobs and Families

By Stephen Frank

California has the highest personal income tax in the nation. Texas and Florida have NONE. California has AB 32 making it expensive to run a business in the former Golden State. Both Florida and Texas work with business to assure regulations are efficient and effective, but not meant to punish.

“In a letter to western shippers, Florida Governor Scott announced he would be “leading a trade delegation to California” in April to explain how Florida’s ports and other infrastructure can help their business.

“Now is a great time to give Florida and our ports an opportunity to improve the efficiency, resiliency and reliability of your supply chain,” the governor wrote. “We’ve made job creation a priority while Governor Brown idly watches businesses flee California.”

Importantly, like Texas, workers in Florida do not need to pay bribes to radical unions in order to work. California forces all government workers to pay bribes—and many industries as well.
No income tax, great weather, no bribes to unions, Florida is a great State, California is a declining state.

“Fla. Const. Article 1, § 6

§ 6. Right to Work
The right of persons to work shall not be denied or abridged on account of membership or non-membership in any labor union or labor organization. The right of employees, by and through a labor organization, to bargain collectively shall not be denied or abridged. Public employees shall not have the right to strike. (Constitution Amended by General Election, 1944; Revised by General Election November 5, 1968)” In other words, the port strike of a few weeks ago will not happen in Florida!
