My nephew is very left-wing and he is freaking out about this on Facebook. I find it very comical. You would think that the Dems would support the idea of a business being treated as a business instead of as a municipality, but no, apparently it's bad for the tribe.The house just passed it, too. Looks like these guys are going to be paying more taxes, so prices are only going to go up. Get the bill to the Governor’s desk!

Disney isn't being punished. It's just being made to follow the same rules AS EVERY OTHER BUSINESS in Florida.My nephew is very left-wing and he is freaking out about this on Facebook. I find it very comical. You would think that the Dems would support the idea of a business being treated as a business instead of as a municipality, but no, apparently it's bad for the tribe.

They should've kept their trap shut and just concentrated on being Disney, so now they are going to have to 'pay their fair share'?The house just passed it, too. Looks like these guys are going to be paying more taxes, so prices are only going to go up. Get the bill to the Governor’s desk!

Actually from what I understand this could be a windfall for WDW. With their special status revoked, about a BILLION dollars in Disney / Reedy Creek issued bonds will revert to Orange and Oceola counties, meaning all the sudden the counties have to repay those bonds instead of WDW itself! Bonds WDW used to build their empire but now essentially will be paid back by the local taxpayers and ultimately the tourists who visit the region through tourism taxes like airfare, car rentals, lodging, dining and entertainment. Or if you look at it another way, Disney has had a Florida resident 'free' annual membership for years but now the bill has come due! Such an interesting situation that all sides seem to be able to spin to advance their particular narrative!

The situation has led to some strange political rhetoric and bedfellows. The GOP is now being accused of being "antibusiness," while dissenting Democrats appear to have suddenly become laissez-faire capitalists, pontificating on the virtues of low taxes and leaving corporations alone to manage their own affairs.Disney's Corporate Welfare Is Modern Mercantilism | Ryan McMaken
