Quote:Liberals are born mad. These losers would rather watch the country remain in the toilet than see Trump succeed.
Deflecting, I see.
Conservatives were frothing at the mouth, and hoped and probably prayed that Obama would fail. Especially the ACA.

You think hoping had anything to do with the ACA failing?

Hoped and prayed?
Warned and were proven right.
It seems it's not only their fearless leader who are thin skinned [BAD WORD REMOVED]. Why must any question about this agreement with Carrier be characterized as sore loser liberals wanting Trump to fail?

They spent 8 years following GOP leadership in opposing anything and everything put forth by Obama whether good or bad simply because they were sore losers. It's simple projection.

There was little or no resistance to anything.
The ability to resist wasn't even there when the worst failed policies were implemented. The failed healthcare bill was passed solely by the D. Not a single signature from the opposition.
Beyond making a few good decisions to stand up to bad policy after the 2010 elections showed hope, neither side showed any concern for fiscal responsibility. The money kept printing, and the spending rolled on with it.
That's just the simple truth.
Quote:You mad, bro?
Not at all. In fact, I come to the political thread to remind myself how little "political integrity" (if that's not an oxymoron) there is among those who consider themselves small government conservatives.
It seems these liberal-haters are just as starstruck as a 15 year girl is about Justin Beiber. It's fun to watch. StoudCrowd reminds me of those black and white films of girls going crazy over the Beatles. I guess he wants to hold Trump's hand. Or something.

You are confusing being excited about a president-elect who will actually accomplish things with being star struck. Not exactly the same thing.

It's not like the ol' thrill up the leg.

Nobody doubted Trump would be very friendly to big corporations.
Quote:Yeah, because "conservatives" want more government interference in the market.
Funny how people sell out when they so badly want to say they are "winning".
If he's promising less in taxes, how is that more government interference?
Quote:Why not? It works for NFL team owners who want a new stadium.
NFL teams rarely want to move for a new stadium, actually. Look at all the new stadiums that replaced old stadiums in short driving distance or on the same spot. Before the Rams this year, when was the last time a team moved out of state? Also, the Rams did not move to London.

It's a government subsidy.
So if they received some kind of tax break as incentive to stay then this a loss big time. That would be government picking winners and losers, I don't care if it's 100 jobs or 100,000 jobs no company should recieve a competitive advantage from the state just because they threaten to leave.
Now I'm all for an exit tax if they leave heck I'm even ok with reasonable tarriffs to encourage domestic production (45% isn't reasonable for the record) but I sure hope were not about to start negotiation on taxes with individual companies.

Less for just carrier or a reduction across the board? If it's for the entire market than great! But if it's just for carrier or that one specific plant or a one time credit to stay then that's a big problem.
The swamp is filling. Could really pay to donate to the Republican party or Trump organisation right now. Get a nice individually tailored tax rate.
Just another reason why we have to revise the tax code.

FTFY
Aell now that the details are released we see that the 1300 jobs are still being cut. Now that the Indy plant is reprieved, the poor saps in Huntington Indiana are now left to fend for themselves for the benefit of the Indianapolis employees good fortune.

Taking less of someone else's money is not a subsidy.
