Trump to Announce Carrier Plant Will Keep Jobs in U.S.

[Steelworth]

Whoops, I'm not left. I'm a constitutionalist and a critical thinker. With all the unfounded blame lumped upon Obama these last 8 years, why not throw a little more shade his way for old time sake?

I'm saying whoops for the president, no one else. In his smarmy, condescending fashion he disregarded any idea of a solution to the problem that man addressed, instead talked about a magic wand.

Now he's got egg on his face, and rightfully so.

For all the liberal dumdums who keep posting **** as if this is a federal tax concession, the tax break is from the state. All states give tax breaks, or more accurately less double/triple taxation, to entice companies to locate jobs in their state.

If Obama brokered the Carrier deal, the right would only report on Obama paying $7Mil to Carrier as they ship over a thousand jobs to Mexico.

If Obama did this, the right would be losing their ******* minds claiming the govt has no business meddling with private industry. Remember GM? That saved some jobs too and kept an icon of the American auto industry from going bye-bye and conservatives **** all over it . Things in this country will never improve as long as people's opinion of an idea or policy is based on whether or not the person from whom the idea or policy came has an "R" or a "D" next to his name.

But the news media would drown them out raving about how Obama saved the country's economy so it would be a non issue what conservatives thought. It's not like it would be played out publicly as anything other than marvelous. In this case, it's a problem....ya know cause of the whole "R" thing. They are most of the problem and caused Hillary to lose the election.

Are you just acting stupid or do you really not understand the difference between state and federal tax incentives?

Bomma would never do something like that because He doesn't understand how to be pro-business and create an environment for the private sector to be successful.

Indeed. He showed this with his infamous "you didn't build that" line.

Bomma has a pen and phone, though.

Surely Solyndra has been touted as what Obummer would do for industry. /sarc

There is no comparison.

The tax break is over 10 year. However, the taxes paid by the workers in the ten year period greatly exceeds the tax breaks. The money spent by the workers benefits businesses in the area. And if laid off many of the workers would likely be on welfare of some sort, which cost the taxpayers even more.

Typical for the media to focus on cost by looking at the negative onlu.

Well, 1,000 workers at the 15% tax rate each earning on average $50,000 dollars a year comes out to $7,500 per person. After deductions, let's say it's $5,000 per person.

1,000 workers paying $5,000.00 in taxes per year = $5,000,000.00 in taxes paid per year!

Multiply this x 10 and you get $50,000,000.00 in Revenue.

Yet the media focuses on $10,000,000.00 in tax breaks over a ten-year span.

And they forget these people stimulate the local economy and many of them would be on welfare if not for Trump, which would cost the taxpayers even more.

So will Trump. Precedent is a ************.
