John Oliver took a glance Sunday at how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is attempting to make Disney International pay extra taxes for the entire fallacious causes.
DeSantis signed a invoice remaining month that can dissolve Disney International’s non-public executive standing, which has allowed the Walt Disney Company to self-govern its large Orlando theme park and lodge advanced. Arrange in 1967, this standing used to be used to trap Disney to increase the web site in central Florida, thus saving it thousands and thousands in annual charges and taxes.
DeSantis’ newest transfer used to be extensively regarded as to be retaliation for Disney executives’ belated essential stance of Florida’s anti-LGBTQ regulation, referred to as the “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice, which handed in March.
“Glance, do I feel it’s dangerous if Disney can pay extra taxes? No, I don’t,” Oliver mentioned on “Closing Week This night.” “That might be a excellent factor. I don’t love that it could occur now not thru significant tax reform, however at the whim of 1 right-wing dipshit who’s frightened of homosexual other folks and doesn’t perceive the First Modification. However good day ― ends, approach ― what are you going to do?”
