new jersey that is absolutely needed. it is not inflated, it is not for the future, it is what s needed to get these cities and states back on their feed. i should say in the last vote 32 of the 100 senators, and 67 of 435 members of congress voted no, but what was interesting is that every one of those no votes came from representatives of states that have recently received or even now are getting federal disaster aid. is there some hypocrisy at work here? i would say there is, absolutely. new york, for example, is always known as a donor state. we sent more money than we receive back. we have always stepped up every time there s been a disaster. new york has never hesitated. i think it s a misguided argument. there s no question that we have a tremendous spending problem.
in my state of new jersey, we pay an exorbitant amount of federal taxes. we re a donor state and we provide the necessary dollars so we spread it out according to the wealth. this is important. this is a critical concept in our capitalistic economy. the more you make, the more you pay in your share. tax reform is a real drag-out battle next year, because we deal with a subject laid on the side for all years while we go through these budget emergencies as you would say. we need to attack that, attack it head on. we need to, i believe, move into the era of taxing wealth more than income. i think that s very important for the american people so we come up with a fair tax code. don t forget, most of the tax code is written by folks that are millionaires and billionaires who have lawyers. you don t have a lawyer and i don t have a lawyer. to do these things to make it
for the federal government. so do we. there are some states where some states like i mean one of the things it pays for is like nursing homes for senior citizens which i assume is not an insignificant matter in your state and so other states actually help pay for florida as they contribute to the federal government. no, no, no, no, no. we are a donor state. we pay more than our fair share of taxes. the $1.9 billion is the expansion because of obama care. we already have the issue that our medicaid program which look we care about having a healthcare safety net for the vulnerable floridians. but this is an expansion that just doesn t make any sense. look, every government program in the world they say i m going to cover everything. they run out of money. they are not honest. they stop paying providers well and then there is no one to take care of you. that is exactly what this will do. florida business there s is no way. i was in a business the other day and they walked up to kn
so other states help florida? no, we are donor state. we pay more than our fair share of taxes. the $1.9 billion is the expansion because of obamacare. we have an issue that our medicaid program look we care about having a healthcare safety net for the vulnerable floridians but this is an expansion that doesn t make any sense. look, every government program in the world, they say i m going to cover everything. they run out of money. they are not honest. they stop paying providers well. then there is no one to take care of you. that is what this will do. florida businesses, there is no way. i was in a business the other day they walked up to me, governor is this going to become the law, if it does we are out of business. we have 20 employees. we won t be able to buy any healthcare for anybody. this doesn t do drive the market. this just a big government insurance program that does nothing to deal with the cost of
