Is it even a tax break or a reward from the general fund back to Carrier over a certain period? I understood it was a monetary gain and not based upon their tax contribution

They got tax relief. It is only a break if you think it is rightfully the government's money.

It's the people's money. True or false?

Trump would have agreed with her a few months ago.

Trump:

quote:

"Remember, they’d give the low-interest loans. 'Here’s a low-interest loan if you stay in Pennsylvania, here’s a zero-interest loan, you don’t have to pay. Here’s a this, here’s a tax abatement of any kind you want, we’ll help your employees"

"It doesn’t work, folks. That’s not what they need. They have money. They want to go out, they want to move to another country and because our politicians are so dumb, they want to sell their product to us and not have any retribution, not have any consequence. So all of that's over."

Yes. It is the people's money. The people of Indiana foot the bill.

I do think this company got special treatment, which I think warrants the Crony Capitalism criticism. I doubt that it is completely coincidental that Carrier does business with the defense department either.

Has Trump not learned anything? This is how you negotiate a factory deal.

I think she´s wrong, based on what she said. I´ve got no facts to believe otherwise.

Carrier is a premium product at premium prices, and has lost major market share, no?

I don´t see what this decision has done to aid their market positioning. I´m sure they´re already Proudly Made in America, until prior to this occurence.
