The new rankings are out, and Florida is number one. It is not football, although I would understand one making that assumption. Florida is number one for small business. According to a recent Venture Smarter's study that considered numerous factors like business climate, tax structure, and burdensome business regulations, Florida has just been ranked the number one State in America. Today, I rise to congratulate my home State, the free State of Florida, on this outstanding accomplishment. In the Sunshine State, we support small businesses to do what they do best: invest, hire, and grow. When we shop small, we all win big. Spending your money at that local small business can make a big difference. Today, 2.8 million businessowners and entrepreneurs call Florida home, but, Mr. Speaker, there is room for one more. Mr. Speaker, if you are considering coming to Florida to open a business, then I urge you to make a plan. Frankly, you should have a plan of what to do with all that extra money you will have in your pocket because Florida has no income tax. As a member of the House Small Business Committee, I am working to ensure every small business has the opportunity to thrive and fuel our economy in communities all across America. Honoring Nathalie Wu
