JOBS and the ECONOMY
Small business has always been the key to the Florida economy. When our economy was number one in the nation in 2003 it was because a million small businesses in Florida hired one employee at a time. Since then unemployment has tripled and the reason is small business is suffering.
The key to improving the economy is lowering the burden of government on small business. Lower taxes, less fees, and fewer regulations. Our study found that we spend an incredible $7 billion in local government just in Orange County. We came up with recommendations to save $1.2 billion annually and increase service levels at the same time. Lower spending and safer streets.
Imagine if we can save 20% on all government spending in Florida. That will reduce taxes by $30 billion annually. That money will flow into our restaurants, hair salons and other small businesses. We have one million small businesses in Florida. If each one hires just one person unemployment goes to zero. If they all lay off one employee unemployment goes to 20%. It is clear to me the path to economic prosperity is to lower the burden of government on small business.
I will lower the taxes on your small business and help preserve your job.
