You as a consumer are the ones paying taxes. No matter how you cut it, it's all passed down. It's economics. Jesus, the public education now sucks

Stop. That was an excuse. Rules come as safety precaution. Carrier is not the only company that operates in the US under those new rules. No others moved based on the new rules. Bottom line the move is simply to cut cost and increase revenue. This is a bottom line decision.

HubbaBubba,
The Chinese stock market has crashed twice this year. I wonder why.....
Meanwhile, we continue to trudge along at an anemic 1.5% GDP.

No, saving less than 40% of the jobs and then celebrating as if that is a victory is disgusting. If you try and only manage to save 40% of jobs you should apologize, not gloate.

The rust belt has hemorrhaged 8 million manufacturing jobs since China joined the WTO.
WTF, Trump?

I agree that any moves are based solely on bottom line that is why I firmly believe without having wages and tax breaks equivalent to Mexico these jobs will still move. Ten years places a bandage on the bleed. Bottom line, manufacturing jobs in general,I believe are gone. I jusy dont see how we get companies to stay. Incentives keep them for a while but the ultimately move on.

So are you saying they are receiving Fed Tax breaks and not state?

o you don't see any scenario where small comapanies would benefit from a large company being in the area? Please tell me how it would hurt a manufacturer to have a larger manufacturer come in close by. Be specific.
If a small manufacturing company is located in a town and pays it's full share of taxes, and then the town decided to lure in a larger manufacturer to the town by giving them millions of dollars in tax incentives it puts the larger manufacturer at an unfair advantage. The larger manufacturer could use the extra cash to attract better employees, it could invest the money in technology that would otherwise be unavailable, or it could simply sell the product that it manufactures for less money. All of these things would create an unfair advantage for the larger company, especially if the two companies produce the same or similar products. Specific enough for you?

These are the words of a loser. You sound like the UT fans ok with going 8-4 because at least you aren't "Dooley" bad.
When a president elect and governor team up to save 2100 jobs and they only manage to save 800 it's a failure.

My town is in the game to grow it's tax base, and create jobs in said town particularly if the economy is depressed locally and you have artificially kept your wages low, that's it nothing more.

What a stupid fricking, butthurt response.
How can you have so much hatred for people who don't share your politics that you would rather see 1000 people lose their livelihoods than give credit where its due? You are the same type of a-hole that cheered for a stimulus that cost the American tax payer nearly $300k per job.
Obama didn't kill all of the terrorists. Disgusting. See how fricking stupid that sounds?
