Because in Florida, when I became Governor, our economy, GDP of Florida was about 1.1 trillion, 1.08 trillion. Now it's $1.85 trillion. Seven years we've come close to doubling the size of the economy. Ergo, We have reduced taxes, eliminated taxes like the business rent tax, we have no income tax. And yet we have more revenue coming in to the state government. Local government has gotten a lot of revenue because they're taxing your property so much. (19:20–19:27)
