I cost the US taxpayer nothing so that's a good start!


But you agree with corporations threatening to leave so they can get favourable incentives?

Why not? It works for NFL team owners who want a new stadium.

Think of the taxes LOST if they moved the factory to Mexico. Nearly 1000 people out of work and unemployment benefits paid out. Not to mention some would have to go on food stamps and possibly claim a disability. It would cost the country MORE if they just moved then if they stayed put.
Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

Like someone mentioned above, probably nothing more than the tax income from 1000 employees and the savings in unemployment. Also, Carrier probably took a pretty good beating after being the poster child during the campaign about moving jobs to Mexico, so who really knows what the incentives were? Let's focus on the good of the situation for awhile...

Blind Faith was a great one album wonder.

 

I'm not one to wish Trump failure, I honestly hope he proves my doubts to be unfounded. Enjoy the moment, hopefully there's no devil in the details.

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".

Is this all carrier plants or just the one and is it due to being handed out tax breaks?

Liberals are born mad. These losers would rather watch the country remain in the toilet than see Trump succeed.
