How Florida can tax the rich
This is Seeking Rents, a newsletter and podcast devoted to producing independent journalism about Florida politics, with an emphasis on the ways that big businesses and other special interests influence public policy in the state. Seeking Rents is produced by veteran investigative journalist Jason Garcia, and it is free to all. But you can support my work by becoming a paid subscriber and/or by making a one-time donation. Subscribe Welcome to another installment of Florida in Five: Five* stories you need to read from the past week in Florida politics. The very last bill that Jeb Bush ever signed as governor of Florida eliminated a state tax on investment holdings like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. It was known as the “intangibles tax,” and it was a type of property tax — but one levied on financial assets rather than land and buildings. And Bush, who grew up summering at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, had made abolishing the intangibles tax one of his top policy goals from the moment he was sworn in as governor. Bush used to call it a tax on “seniors and savers.” But it was really a tax on the rich: By the time he and Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature repealed it in 2006, a married couple had to have at least $500,000 in non-retirement investments — more than $800,000 in today’s inflation-adjusted dollars — before they paid a dime. The average intangibles taxpayer was a millionaire, and rainy day or retirement funds like personal savings accounts and 401(k) plans were completely exempt. The intangibles tax on investments has been dead for 20 years now. But perhaps it’s time for a resurrection. The hard truth is that Florida is going to have to raise revenue from somewhere soon. Voters just approved Amendment 3, the constitutional amendment that will immediately hand a supersized tax break to homeowners and set the state on a path to eliminating all property taxes homeowners currently pay to support municipal services like police, fire, parks and more. Some cities and counties could quickly lose nearly a third of their general funds. And despite what some of the armchair shitposters seem to believe, you can’t simply cut your way out of deficits like that — unless you’re prepared to start amputating limbs. There are already discussions of higher sales taxes, special property assessments, and flat user fees that threaten to turn libraries and boat ramps into toll roads. But those are all sources of revenue that would fall hardest on working- and middle-class Floridians — in a state that already has the country’s most upside-down tax code. Bringing back the intangibles tax wouldn’t be a panacea. Economists estimate that 1 mill — essentially $1,000 of tax on every $1 million of investments — would raise a little more than $700 million a year. Amendment 3, by contrast, is expected to cost cities, counties and towns more than $12 billion a year — and that’s before the newly-quintupled homestead exemption begins to escalate beyond $250,000. But an intangibles tax could help soften some of the coming service cuts. And it would do so in a way that makes the billionaires who bankroll too many of Florida’s top politicians carry some of the weight of Amendment 3. There is an even bolder step that Gov.-elect Byron Donalds and the new, more narrowly divided Legislature could take to raise revenue — one that would support Florida’s small businesses to boot. It’s a policy known as “combined reporting.” And it would effectively close tax loopholes that many of the world’s largest corporations — corporations that are earning billions of dollars in profits in Florida — are using to dodge the state’s corporate income tax. I’ve been writing about combined reporting for years — at the Orlando Sentinel, at Florida Trend, and repeatedly here at Seeking Rents — so I won’t get deep in the weeds on it again right now. But, at the most basic level, combined reporting makes it harder for a corporation to game the tax code by moving money from one pocket to another. Florida is one of a minority of states that still uses an antiquated approach called “separate reporting.” Under separate reporting, a multinational corporation that has hundreds of different subsidiaries can pretend that each of those entities is an independent company for tax purposes. It will have some of those subsidiaries file tax returns in Florida, and it will make sure that many others do not. The setup enables corporations to transfer money between those subsidiaries in order to open and exploit gaps in tax rules. This is why, to name one very basic example, so many corporations are able to shave millions of dollars from their Florida tax bills just by paying themselves to use their own names and logos. Combined reporting is both simpler and fairer. All combined reporting does is require a corporation to file a single unified tax return — just like the single unified corporation it actually is. That alone closes off many of the tax-dodging strategies available under separate reporting. Would you like to support Seeking Rents without becoming a subscriber? Already a paid subscriber but want to do more to help sustain my work? Click below to make a one-time donation. Support Seeking Rents By some recent estimates, combined reporting would generate more than $2 billion in revenue for Florida, which would go a long way to easing the looming Amendment 3 austerity. But just as importantly, combined reporting would also level the competitive playing field for Florida’s small businesses — locally owned businesses that don’t have the teams of accountants, lawyers and lobbyists needed to set up intangibles holding companies in Delaware or pull off a “double Irish with a Dutch sandwich.” There is no doubt that Amendment 3 is going to force a lot of hard choices across Florida over the next few years. But it’s also going to create some real opportunities for positive reform. *To paraphrase Barbossa, five is more what you’d call a guideline than an actual rule.

Why the Democrats are rethinking their politics
I want to start by talking about a Democratic loss from the midterms. Subscribe Florida was once a swing state that the outgoing governor, Ron DeSantis, said was now “off the board. It is a Republican state”. Yet Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon, pictured below, only lost by three percentage points. But what if the Democrats had won? Nixon was not the preferred establishment candidate and accused Democrat HQ of not sending enough money. I bring up Nixon’s “beef” because it gets to the heart of the debate about the way forward for the party when it is in control of the House and Senate come January. You’re reading InDepth: A weekly long read from Channel 4 News offering quality analysis and insight, diving deeper beyond the headlines Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), argues that her “progressivism” is popular. The centrists say she never stood a chance in the deep Red of the sunshine state. “The backlash against Trump and the general Blue wave tsunami was big enough that it carried people from all different factions of the party,” says Ben Krauss, from the think tank, Searchlight Institute. With Chris Van Hollen set to challenge leader Chuck Schumer in the Senate - and even some questioning Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House - do the Democrats risk squabbling internally rather than working on their huge mandate? DSA on the rise The DSA has been around since the 1980s, but the last decade has been transformational for the group. In 2018, there was the emergence of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and then in 2025 the victory of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, pictured below. Both individuals showed the left could challenge the Democratic mainstream with bold new policies. Mamdani spoke of free buses, free childcare and a freeze on rents. While only a few actual DSA members have now been elected to the House, some of the policies they champion are entering the broader mainstream. Medicare for All, a wealth tax on billionaires, raising the minimum wage, changing the US-Israel relationship. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Penny Flanagan in Minnesota both championed Medicare for All and accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, which it denies. Neither are members of the DSA, but the messaging worked, and in the case of El-Sayed, it worked in a swing state. Socialism or populism? Perhaps we’re obsessed with labels rather than policy? Senator Bernie Sanders called the likes of Troy Jackson in Maine simply “progressive”, while his fellow senator Elizabeth Warren described the new intake as “populist economic fighters”. Ben Rhodes, who worked for Barack Obama, described the new governor-elector of Iowa, Rob Sand, pictured below, as a “radical centrist populist”. Matt Bennett of the centrist Democratic group, Third Way, told me: “The term populist has lost all of its meaning. It now applies to everyone. Everyone runs against the establishment. But they’re claiming that people like James Talarico and Adam Hamilton are running as leftists and they’re not. They didn’t run on the Green New Deal or abolishing ICE.” Share Krauss said: “The word that we use is heterodoxy. You can be someone that really goes after billionaires like Talarico, but also you saw him on the southern border doing campaign appearances with sheriffs. Everyone from the left to the moderates cheer that on. So that to me is a pretty remarkable departure from where we were five years ago.” The moderates argument The moderates or centrists, like Bennett, would take us back to the top of this article: Angie Nixon. They contend that the most left-leaning Senate candidates all ran behind the national swing to the Democrats. But what about Nixon’s argument about a lack of funds? “The reason that we didn’t have the resources to invest in Florida is because we had to put so much goddamn money into Michigan, a state that we should have won easily,” said Bennett. He added: “I believe if she had run more like Troy Jackson as ‘I’m a capitalist, but I’m progressive’, I think she would have had a shot at winning.” [ ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/explained-why-democrat-scott-coloms) [ Explained: Why Democrat Scott Colom's Senate win is 'historic' ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/explained-why-democrat-scott-coloms) Kiran Moodley · Nov 12 [ Read full story ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/explained-why-democrat-scott-coloms) Still, with El-Sayed, a win is a win, right? Mamdani told The New Yorker: “I’ve often heard that the kind of politics that we’re fighting for isn’t possible outside of New York. Tuesday proved just how wrong that was.” Share Channel 4 News Indeed, Krauss’ point is how the left and the moderates are now taking notes from each other. Talarico advocates for universal healthcare, and while he may not have called for Bernie’s $20 minimum wage, he wants $15. Can they meet in the middle? So there is actually a common thread here. From Sanders to Sand, Democrats stopped focusing on culture wars and more on economic wars. Gina Hinojosa, the next governor of Texas, was pressed on the issue of “progressivism” by The New York Times and turned it around to say the real issue was: “We are facing an almost existential crisis in this country because tech giants are having their way with us.” [ ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/why-voters-punished-trump-and-the) [ Why voters punished Trump and the Republicans in the midterms ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/why-voters-punished-trump-and-the) Anushka Asthana · Nov 4 [ Read full story ](https://channel4news.substack.com/p/why-voters-punished-trump-and-the) Krauss said: “Everyone talked about tariffs. Everyone talked about the Iran war. People leaned into very populist themes about corporations, about making the wealthy pay their fair share. Pro-Israel thinking is not as common in the Democratic party as it once was.” The way forward - realignment? Two big questions then. Can the Democrats get anything passed to make meaningful change and does the broad sweep of victories indicate a significant shift in US politics? I spoke to Professor Charles Bullock, at the University of Georgia, and he said that the Democrats may want to shore up their numbers - especially in the Senate - in 2028 before doing that. “Look at the changes LBJ got through… or FDR. Under those circumstances, what you had were Democratic majorities of two to one in both chambers. If you got that, then sure, you can go very far left.” With the Democrats winning votes in the South, have they broadened their coalition permanently to levels not seen for decades? Bullock notes that the US has not had three one-term presidencies in a row since periods in the middle and late 19th century. “What happened to end that series of one-term presidencies? We had a major realignment. We also during those periods had very evenly divided Congresses. “So is this a prelude to that? I don’t know, but it could be.” Thanks for reading the latest edition of our InDepth newsletter. Subscribe below to keep up to date with Channel 4 News on Substack.

The NVIDIA story is a BFD
Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, one of the world’s most valuable companies and perhaps the most strategically important corporation to the future of the United States, resigned after admitting to an extramarital affair with a woman U.S. intelligence officials believe was a Chinese spy. This is a big fucking deal. Thanks, Captain Obvious. But my impression is that the political world is under-reacting to the Nvidia story. We’re overdue to have at least an initial newsletter covering it. I don’t expect this to become a Silver Bulletin obsession, but the overlap between politics and AI is well within our purview, and this story falls within those sightlines. I’m going to do this as one of those “13 thoughts” bullet-pointed lists that can make for a nice shortcut for these developing news stories. The usual ground rule is that I’m working through my thinking with you in real time, so treat this as provisional. To be clear, this is political analysis, not a scandal explainer. For more about the scandal itself, read Zvi or listen to these recent editions of Odd Lots or Search Engine: Basically, what those describe is that this story isn’t just about Jensen Huang having slept with an alleged Chinese agent, Alice Huang. As this New York Times graphic illustrates, there’s also a broader penumbra of suspicion related to a company called Megaspeed, which Alice Huang ran and which bought Nvidia chips through Nvidia’s hardware partners. U.S. authorities began investigating Megaspeed in 2024, during the Biden administration, over whether it diverted advanced Nvidia chips to China in violation of U.S. export controls. The Commerce Department’s work on the probe was paused in late 2025, and the case was “abruptly transferred” to the Justice Department, the Times reported. My 13 thoughts A canonically good bet is to “buy the rumor but sell the news.” In other words, to bet on people overreacting. That would have been good advice in the case of Haley Stevens’s endorsement of Mike Rogers, for instance. But I think there’s a case for buying the news when the news cycle is particularly busy. The political news world has been knee-deep in the midterms, which is an absolutely massive story given the magnitude of the Democratic sweep. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s one of the bigger political earthquakes of the century. However, public attention spans and journalistic bandwidth are finite resources. The timing might lead one to downplay the magnitude of the Nvidia story. It will probably build. In terms of the magnitude, the comparison that comes to mind is the onset of the Iran War, which also dropped amid a busy news cycle1. Nvidia is not the same sort of story, but it is of roughly the same shape and size, because there are tripartite implications for the economy, for geopolitics and for domestic politics.
