“One wonders what executive order he could sign that would stop this.”.........
That “EO” will be a 35% tax on any of Carriers products coming INTO the U.S., just the same a Ford and others who move there will experience.
Looks like Carrier will have to seek out the world market place for their products, their sales in the U.S. will soon take a major hit.
I am all for that but that may construed to be a bill of attainder.
So much for the workers working in plants supplying Carrier and Ford, then. But hey, to make an omelette one needs to break some eggs, right?
I could have sworn that taxing authority rested with Congress...my bad. That was in the olden days of the Constitution.
