soooooooo to keep jobs here should we tax their products that are made by third world labor coming into this country?
the precise details of these (early) ad hoc Job Saving actions........ may be open to some criticism
but they DO underscore the new American policy to at least CARE about Americans losing their jobs
this is VERY VERY refreshing, especially after these last 8 years of the Democraps not giving a rats-ass-damn about American citizens
IN due course, President Trump will work out reformed trade, tax, environmental, and labor policies...etc...
that will SYSTEMIZE this concern for Americans that we should have employment opportunities and NOT be callously thrown onto the scrap-heap of economics and life
once some reasonable, more balanced systemic policies are put in place, any criticisms of ‘crony capitalism’ or ‘picking winners and losers”...etc.... should ameliorate, dissipate
Mr Trump seems very aware of the direction we need to go in.
(It remains to be seen if such as McCain/Graham/etal. will help us or not)
The left hates tax breaks regardless.
You’re right though PENCE did this deal and was working on it before he was even vice president elect.
states always give tax breaks to attract business.

>>I also don’t understand by reducing taxes on a business is welfare.
Because, in the Progressive mindset, all money is the government’s money and what you keep is their “gift” to you. But you already know that. It’s what separates us from them.

I’m a big supporter of protectionism in certain situations.Trade with our friends and allies (Canada,Europe,Japan and South Korea,for example) is one thing...trade with enemies like China and Mexico is an entirely different thing.
“Right. This article is just so much bull and i wonder why anyone is wasting space by posting it.”
I’m trying to figure out what all of these people are so outraged over.
Trump didnt give them a tax cut. Indiana did. Just like my state gives tax incentives to keep companies here and to lure them here. We gave out some to land a huge data center that has pumped millions into the local economy, with the promise of billions in the future.

Trump just helped negotiate it. Big whoop!
Trump, Ross and Mnuchin don’t need economic advice from bloggers, journalists and Senators who never created a single private sector job
This is not sensical. I am from Washington State. When Lowery was gov., he gave Boeing many tax breaks to keep them in Washington. By keeping Boeing in Washington State, the jobs at Boeing were kept as well as the jobs from companies that supplied Boeing. And, that save many, many jobs that aren't readily apparent and are mostly hidden.
When Locke was gov., Boeing asked for some tax relief or they would move their headquarters to Chicago. He didn't give it to them and they move the headquarters. Boy, was he surprised. Typical, stupid democrat.
Corporations are godless dictatorships.
Let's revive Main Street USA.
This would be like an NFL referee giving the 49ers 10 points per touchdown just so they have a chance at winning a game.
BTW, I don't care how the 9ers are doing right now. Couldn't care less. I just used them as an example because they suck.

There is state income tax of about 6%. The deal with the state is to get lowered income tax by aid for not moving. Trump only gave a promise to lower federal tax and regulations. Indianapolis had to offer something to keep them from going somewhere else in the USA.
Exactly how do you revive “Maistreet” without more jobs?
Kasich guy, huh?
Trump gave no favor to Carrier. The state of Indiana did in order to keep them from moving to another state. Trump didn`t need the tax break to keep them in the U.S.. He had all the leverage he needed to keep them here without it.
Nafta with those huge trade deficits equals free trade?
Not Presidents.
I realize Pence cut this deal but obviously at Trump's behest. Kind of a bummer.
I don't know how many A/C manufacturers there are in Indiana but I'm pretty sure there is only one airliner manufacturer in Warshington so that kind of falls under the apples and oranges thing.
Besides, as far as I know, Chicago is still in The U.S.
Its murder rate might rival that of Mexico's but, still.
The Trump rationale for the deal would include the consideration that the US government is at fault for actively rigging the game against its own businesses and employees in favor of Wall Street connected foreign industrial and financial interests. From that perspective, the special inducements given to save jobs at Carrier are in part relief and compensation for damages previously done by the US government.
