Florida awards Zohran Mamdani as their "Economic Developer of the Year" in Times Sq. campaign

"Hey Zohran, thanks for the jobs" --love, Florida

Communism [the left calls it socialism] is apparently a strong motivator to get people to run as fast as they can away from where it's imposed. New York City, run by comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is one case in point. The beneficiary of New York's exodus in large part is Florida.

At the corner of Broadway and West 43rd Street, basically the heart of the Big Appel, a massive new billboard is sending an infuriating message to New York leadership: "Thanks for the jobs!" [H/T Fox News.]

The United States is now facing a choice between free enterprise or more government control under socialism. Florida is having none of that and has launched a Times Square campaign naming  New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Florida's "Economic Developer of the Year." Let this once again show the [wo]man in the street, how progressive socialist policies with their all encompassing taxing, are driving businesses and families to conservative-run states such as Florida and Texas.

Florida now has a $1,800,000,000,000.35 record-breaking wealth migration. That's even more money than Elon Musk has earned.

"We wanted to thank him [Mamdani] for the jobs, the companies, the people that they're pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida," Chamber CEO Mark Wilson first told Fox News Digital on Monday.

"America is at a crossroads right now. I think everyone that's paying attention knows that our country was built on freedom and free enterprise and people having the liberty to make their dreams come true," Wilson said. "And there's a push in our country right now to take those liberties away and to attack free enterprise. And that's never worked anywhere, and it won't work in America."

"What Mayor Mamdani is doing is dangerous for the country, right? It's bad for New Yorkers. It's bad for New York. It's very harmful for the country," Wilson continued. "We can choose free enterprise, which is what America was built on, or we can choose to destroy that, which is what the social[ist] policies do… And so, what we're hoping happens from this campaign is that we refocus America on free enterprise."

In addition to putting the blame on Mamdani, the Chamber’s campaign highlights its argument that lower tax rates yield higher total state revenues by incentivizing growth, while blue-state tax hikes trigger a tax-based exodus. According to the Chamber, citing IRS migration data, Florida gains approximately $2.4 million in net taxable income every hour, while New York loses approximately $1.1 million per hour. The Chamber also says Florida gains a net 551 residents daily, compared to New York losing 115 residents daily. Now that's an enormous difference.

According to the Chamber's press release, New York’s state budget is over twice Florida’s, and New York City’s municipal budget alone is more than $8 billion higher than the entire Florida state budget.

"What do people like Mayor Mamdani do? They want to then increase taxes on the people who are left, which just further accelerates people leaving places like New York," Wilson explained, showing that comrades like Mamdani, know nothing about economics and are dangerous to their constituents and the country as a whole.

So just like Barack Obama was the gun industry's best salesman, Mamdani is Florida's best jobs head hunter.

"Florida's lowered taxes over 50 times in the last 15 years. And we have record revenues coming in because people want to be here. And when the economy grows, tax revenues grow. That's how free enterprise works," Wilson said.
