Neither party has given a crap about the middle class for years. Trump hit a cord with the middle class and that is why he is president-elect
He has and the GOP is now in a position to be beholden to the working class....when working class people band together they can accomplish all sorts of shite...this is how the labor movement began...either the GOP will deliver or the working people of this country will find someone who will....
It is just so difficult for me to understand how the party which has cussed labor for so many years has, in less than 24 months, become the labor party and how the supporters of that party are now OK with labor voting in a bloc and flexing its muscle....it is truly inspiring...and I will be the first to admit...I don't care which party owns labor lock stock and barrel as long as one of them is owned by working people....

No, his sauces tell him that the tax payers of Indiana are going to receive a bill for $7 mil, each.
He needs to lay off the sauces, imo

Lol, so Pence enacted a tax increase on the citizens of the state of Indiana to cover the $700K?

You like many on the left confuse the "middle class" with "union member"/
I believe strongly the need for unions have long past this country. Their membership numbers and influence bear that out.
Look how the rank and file of unions vote and live versus how the leadership does.
My dad was a teamster and my step father was union his whole life - they both can't stand unions now. The unions failed to adapt.
Steel plant workers making $80+ an hour is what drove steel manufacturing out of this country and that was the unions doing.
Unions can't die fast enough in my opinion.

You're looking at it from a monetary standpoint. I was private union for 42 years. Unions were a vital tool for safety concerns in jobs where safety was a bargaining chip in negotiations. Can you imagine having to work 16 hour days seven days a week on getting trains over the road? It was part of your job to do just that up until the mid 60s. Because of bargaining power by the union over the years it's now down to 12 hour days.
That was not only to my well-being but yours also.
BTW, in those 42 years not once did I ever pull the lever for a Dem. even though they were heralded as our best friend for job security and pay raises.

Sounds like a 1000 more illegals, instead of of 1000 reasonably paid mexicans with the means to import goods we can sustainably produce.

The interesting thing about this carrier situation is how mad liberals are that these people get to keep their jobs.
Especially since IN is "investing" $7mil. $7 mil that would not have existed if Carrier left. IN is "investing" the equivalent of house money that was comped for entering the casino.
fricking stupid to think they are paying anything.
I hate Trump's tariff stance, but it appears he did this the right way. Lower the cost of doing business in the US, and businesses will stay. No need to strong arm them.

The Democrats are the party of billionaires now. Take a look around and wake up from your stupor. Things have changed.

Saved 800 jobs from the Indianapolis plant from going to Mexico and 300 more from being relocated to NC. Between this plant and the Huntington one 1300 jobs are going to Mexico. Here's another article about the 1300 employees losing their jobs if you don't subscribe to the WSJ:

Here's the letter Carrier sent to the workers whose jobs are going to Mexico:
Trump and Pence couldn't even save 40% of the jobs.

I'd rather have 40% usage of my lungs than no usage at all. Wouldn't you?

Yet the current administration told them to get over it and they were a thing of the past.
