Of course you have data to back that claim up, or is this just more of your non stop BS?
The exodus begins/ Ford taking 900 million planned investment to Mexico!

Was it me?
so you're also against globalization zealotry?
Well, since your corporate tax cut pushed companies out of the US, we should return to the tax rate before 2018 to cut down the deficit and bring those companies back.
I thought the deficit was so important to you. Guess that was just another load of your bullshit.
They made this decision long before announcing it, idiot.
No company moves anything based on a feeling.
You're the ones who promised that by revising NAFTA, no jobs would leave the US.
So you were wrong and lying there.

Was it me?
I had nothing to do with it.
The way to deal with this now is to put massive tariffs on their cars so they cannot sell back into the u.s. so profitably after abandoning americans.
whats your plan besides blaming people who had nothing to do with nafta?
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
how does that effectuate an improvement?
regardless of the past, how would you fix the situation with ford now?
try to be smart and constructive.
What do you mean?
I wouldn't force a private company to do anything.
They're free to leave the country if they want.
There's nothing punitive we can do about that.
This is the "free market" you all wanted.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
so you're operating out of fascism and spite.
Letting a business do what it's going to do isn't fascism.
Fascism would be me telling the business that they couldn't leave, and then telling them what they must produce according to my orders.
Democratic Socialism would be the business sharing the profits with the workers.

Was it me?
businesses influencing trade policy to the detriment of the rest of the nation is fascism. Tariffs are a historical and effective trade tool. pretending otherwise is dishonestly fascistic.
ford can go to mexico and give all their profits to mexican workers if they want. But they still must
factor tariffs into their price point and determine if the u.s. market can bear their price.
tariffs are the obvious move here.
globalist zealotry is retarded like you.
But if they're leaving the country, then they're not influencing trade policy, are they?
No they aren't, and we just fucking lived through this two years ago.
The Trade War was all about tariffs, and the tariffs from the Trade War resulted in the bankruptcy of $30B worth of farms in this country.
Raising tariffs as a punitive tool against businesses offshoring didn't fucking work when we did it 2 years ago.
Were you not paying attention?
This is all nonsense because Ford is just exploiting the loopholes Trump created for them with his shitty revision of NAFTA.
Only if you want to destroy our economy and force through more bailouts and rescues like the one we did for trash farmers 2 years ago.
Businesses don't pay tariffs, consumers do.
Grow up.
Absolutely ZERO of those businesses brought jobs back to the US because of the shitty Russia tax cut.

FROM YOUR LINK:
They announced that long before the Russia Tax Cut was passed. So the Russia Tax Cut, which was passed at the end of December 2017, is not responsible for this.
ALSO FROM YOUR LINK:
Is time linear? Does 2012 come before or after 2017?
ALSO FROM YOUR LINK:
So you're trying to attribute businesses bringing production to the US 8 years ago to the Russia Tax Cut that was passed three years ago.
So fucking lazy.

Biden will not do that.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
of course not. he's an idiotic fuckstick.
So you're just conceding that raising tariffs won't work in 2021 any better than they did when we raised them in 2019?
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
no. they would be great. it's my policy recommendation.
