GOP Governors Embrace Pro-Growth Policies As “Tax-Happy” Democrat Governors Force Jobs Out Of Their States

While Democrat governors embrace far-left, tax-and-spend policies that are forcing businesses and workers out of their states, GOP governors are transforming their states into magnets for investment, capital, and working families seeking new opportunities.

In a new op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Florida’s former Governor and sitting Senator Rick Scott writes that “tax-happy” Democrat leaders in California, Connecticut, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania are facing the consequences of their bad decisions as “companies are fleeing high-tax states, bringing jobs with them to Florida, Tennessee and Texas,” all of which currently have GOP governors.

Louisiana is the latest example of this, as economic analysts warn that Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards’ high-tax policies have forced business owners and skilled workers to move across the border to Texas.

While Democrat governors double down on tax hikes and excessive red tape as their states fall deeper into economic stagnation, GOP chief executives are leaning into innovative pro-growth policies as new businesses and workers flock to their states.
