Today’s quote comes to us from Mark Wilson, the CEO of Florida’s Chamber Of Commerce.
Florida – very provocatively – has put up the following at in New York City’s Times Square:
Wow. Florida names the Mayor of New York City as its Economic Developer Of The Year. If ever there was a world class sarcastic dig, this is the one.
Here is Mr. Wilson’s explanation of the sign:
“We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida.
“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. 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. 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.”
That’s laying it out pretty clearly, wouldn’t you say?
I award Mark Wilson Quote Of The Day honors for, despite what I consider to be his unnecessarily sarcastic way of referencing the jobs fleeing New York for Florida, makes a very strong, very logical argument that mamdani’s socialist positions have a lot to do with why it is happening.
I’ll end by reminding New York voters that this is who they put in office. And this is what they got. I hope they’re enjoying it.
