Florida House Speaker-Designate Richard Corcoran called out the political system during a speech at Florida Chamber of Commerce Capitol Days, saying it’s part of the reason GOP hopeful Donald Trump is faring so well in the polls.
“We are the problem. We are absolutely the enemy and the reason Donald Trump has risen,” said Corcoran, a Jeb Bush supporter. “We go out there and say we’re going to fight for the free market, we’re going to fight for these principles, and then we come up to Tallahassee and all too often we don’t.”
Corcoran gave a nearly 15-minute speech during the Florida Chamber’s Capitol Days and was one of several legislative leaders to address the organization. Corcoran, who is the House’s chief budget writer, said the business community needs to help state lawmakers change the system.
“The fact we can serve eight years, walk out of here and suddenly be a lobbyist has got to stop,” he said. “I’m looking at people who have started businesses, grown business from nothing. From the extent that we can fight against this and say we can do something better, and we can achieve that, we can’t do it without you.”
Corcoran also called on the business community to not just be pro-business but also be supportive of the free market.
“We can create a state that is true, just and beautiful,” he said.

This man is so full of crap. he lies all the time and he is a big part of the problem. He is just another corporate “chosen” elected. Just follow his path to where is he now and see hoe they re-made him to do their bidding.

He is right about the fact that they are the problem. We already knew that before Donald Trump started speaking out. One of the comments that Trump has made, is that he is amazed at how smart the public is. Yes, Donald is saying what we have been thinking; what we already know and believe to be true.
The politicians, the media, the liberals, and the PC police had silenced us to a low rumble, but we were rumbling! Donald Trump is the voice that is speaking for us and the voice that is making us heard.
He is right, they did it to themselves, they sold their votes to the highest bidder, the ignored the people who put them in office, and they have voted against the will of the people.
They are the problem, because they are selfish greedy lawless criminals who don’t give a damn about the American people. They should all be Impeached.
