He has taken advantage of lower production and labor costs overseas like most companies have, this is true. Just like the tax loopholes.

 

It's fine with me. I'm also not asking for a law against doing so....that was your statement. Again, just pointing out the irony.

No irony. I don't think he should be doing it either. Those were my feelings before Trump and before Obama.

Trump starting his victory tour right here in River City.

 

I was there! Interesting night to say the least. :wave:

Everybody remembers that Trump said he wouldn't use tax incentives to make businesses stay right?

 

He said they would stay because he told them to, or they would get a penalty/tariff.

 

He's using the same weak principals of our current stupid politicians if he is to take credit for this. :jump:

 

Prior to day one of his presidency he has negotiated the loss of a net 300 jobs. Wow, I knew I would be impressed.

Ah, you're playing a semantics game.

 

When you hand select which companies get a tax break then that company is "getting" $7M.

 

It really isn't a semantics game. It's a basic enconmic principle. There is a difference between a tax incentive or cut that allows you to keep more of your money , as opposed to a bailout or handout. The government does not own your money. The government by definition has no money. It's a false equivlancy to compare the two.

Didn't use the word "bailout." Said Carrier "got" $7M because they were selected to receive a break other companies have not received.

 

They are keeping 7 million of their own money , they aren't recieving anything from anyone else

I don't mind Trump doing this as a business man. I respect it. I'm a free market guy. His job as president now is to make it more attractice to create and keep jobs here.

 

The government can't create a net positive in jobs but it can create an enviroment that is friendly to job creation.

And that is the key!

Will Trump ever do anything good in your eyes? What could he do short of to resign that you would think is good. Keep in mind the liberal left wants to be inclusive of everyones ideas. What say you Hellcats?

Keep reinforcing this principle LB...people often forget it...

Really nitpicking.

 

Simple point. Carrier got hand picked to receive a financial gain. Call it what you wish.

Anyone bothered by Mr Trump via Gov Pence doing this specifically for a company he has a financial interest in?

Clyde it's really not nitpicking. It's an actual definition.

Why on earth would that be a problem?

 

Insert sarcastic emoticon here.

This is extremely hard for some to get their head wrapped around..........
