Gov. Rick Scott said Monday that the people protesting on Wall Street and in other places around the country have the same frustrations as the people who elected him governor – “they believe government kills jobs.”
Scott, in an interview on Fox 13 WTVT in Tampa, implied that the protesters who have garnered so much attention in recent weeks are the same as the people who voted for him.
“What’s happening is I think people are frustrated with where the world’s going,” Scott said. “In my race, the biggest frustration people had was jobs. And they’re frustrated because they believe government kills jobs, whether it’s taxes, or regulation or permitting. So I think people are fed up with the fact of, that I want a job. So I won my race because I had a plan for jobs. I think we’re going to solve these issues and I’m glad people come out and tell us what they think. By creating an environment where people can get jobs – and that’s what I think about every day.”
