Florida’s Democrat gubernatorial candidate says he plans to raise corporate taxes by 40% to provide Medicare to each resident in the Sunshine State.
In an interview with CNN on Sunday, Andrew Gillum claimed he would not raise rates on citizens, but would increase taxes on corporations so Florida could become a “leading state.”
However, the proposal could cost nearly $32 trillion over the next decade.
Gillum is running against Republican Ron DeSantis for the governor’s seat in November.
