[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I've caused some of the confusion here:  carrier was going to move 1,400 jobs to Mexico. They have announced that 1,000 jobs will remain in the US. No word on if the other 400 will be moved or simply reduced through layoffs or otherwise. Either way, 1,000 blue collar Americans will get to keep their jobs for the foreseeable future and I'm not sure why so many people on here can't acknowledge that's a good thing. [/quote]

It is a good thing, but what about the other manufacturing jobs being moved overseas every day? Are we going to give massive tax breaks to every company that threatens to move? It sets a bad precedent, like negotiating with terrorists. [/quote]

First, Trump hasn't given anybody a tax break. He has talked about reforming the business tax code, to modernize it and bring its line with much of the developed world. There is nothing wrong with tax law changes that generally apply to everybody. So get your facts straight.

Second, the state of Indiana does appear like to will give scarier tax breaks, but targeted tax breaks at the state level are completly within the norm in the United States (including in blue states).

Cranky; your closed mindedness makes it impossible for you to even consider the possibility that a man you hate is doing some good. I don't blame you for disliking him, but allowing your hatred to impact your judgment is poor form. [/quote]
