I don't think you can respond intelligently. Prove me wrong.

aw.....that's cute......you're pretending that's what you were posting......I'm talking about the liberal bullshit leaking out around the facade.....
GHEESE!!Hillary was the greatest Secretary of State, ever.
Do you not consider the deal to be one giant bribe? If you do/don't do X, I will give you Y is generally recognized as a bribe, but, let's just call it an incentive.
it's not "failing" in any way now. Moving to Mexico was simple corporate greed - but its's profitabler in Indiana too.Yeah, because the only employer in Indianapolis is Carrier. Without these 1000 (500) jobs the whole city would turn to tumbleweeds. /s
It's bad economics because you are forcing good, dynamic, growing businesses/industries and productively employed workers to subsidize failing businesses/industries and unproductively employed workers.
So they can extort bribes from the incoming administration.![]()
carrots and sticks..hopefully an improved business climate will require less of both -but this is normal enough.
OMG!!! Trump used tax incentives!!!! *horrors*
Bingo..I don't know if you recall "buy American" it was around for awhile -but many products were not available..but it was never a national goal either. So Trump makes it a national goal -that helps.nosee you cant just state that im going to move to mexico. You have to actually have plans to move there as carrier did. Sites staked out etc etc. Its very easy to verify especially for someone with the resources of a president that you are actually going to do it.
Next you have to deal with the public backlash as well and theres no guarantee you would be given the same deal Instead of the president asking the citizens to boycott your products.
Lastly I believe trump got this result giving away very little.
Lets assume for the sake of argument that fortune is 100% accurate. Trump gave out 700k in tax credits for this to stay.
700k in credits. So carrier would be paying x-700k. If they left what would they be paying indiana? Yup. 0. The employees would not be paying payroll tax or any other tax as well.
it's 1 arrow in the quiver..again states do this all the time in competition with each other. By itself it's not a YUGE deal -but it's a good deal.Let's call it for what it is. It's great that he saved these jobs...but is that a sustainable formula?
I heard that this morning. Is it your contention that someone actually wrote Carrier a check? Or is it a multiple year tax break?(aka, Carrier keeping more of the money THEY earn) And how do you feel about the New York deal, the one where if you bring your business to New York, you pay ZERO state taxes for 10 years? That's a great idea,right? Because it was supposedly the democrat governor's idea?As for the OP & Carrier, kudos to Trump. But it was essentially a $700K payoff on the backs of IN taxpayers, all made possible by the fact that the acting Governor is also the VP-Elect.
Not exactly a formula that can be utilized quite as much going forward.

Now for regulatory reform/tax reform= better business climate=GDP ( wealth) growth

He pulled a favor from the guv'nor for showmanship, which is what he's best at. He'll crow about this one for ages - but it's a drop in the bucket of what he actually needs to do.
Do you?

Other dunce!
sure. but it's important enough he kept a campaign promise, and GOT IT DONE.He pulled a favor from the guv'nor for showmanship, which is what he's best at. He'll crow about this one for ages - but it's a drop in the bucket of what he actually needs to do.
Do you have anything to add other than memes?
Your fairy tale is no more accurate than tsuke's leftist inspired dystopian nonsense.
You didn't understand the stimulus. It wasn't designed to create careers.
We were in a freefall, courtesy of the previous Republican admin.
It was supposed to get people working & turn things around - temporary was fine. And it did just that.
Back then, you guys were saying it would crash the market and ruin us.
Instead, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Not my fault you had no idea what the intent was.
This whole Carrier deal is just like Blue Star in the "Wall Street" movie.
Remember when Gekko tells bud that unless his dad is on the board of some other large companies, they're going to have a pretty short relationship?
Gekko = American people
Bud = Trump
Pence = Buds' dad
