[Begin at 1:07:30 into the speech. Speaking of Carrier Air Conditioner which relocated to Mexico.]
"Every single time you make a beautiful air conditioner and want to sell it to the United States, there will be a 35% tax on it."

No you’re wrong.
It was the Federal Reserve mismanagement of the money supply that caused the great depression.
Kinda of like today.
“It was the Federal Reserve mismanagement of the money supply that caused the great depression.”
Locally, nationally, or internationally, the bankers certainly are to blame for a good part of the current problems.
I agree with putting tariffs on American companies that leave the US.
The government decided that free trade while simultaneously increasing regulations was a good idea. The environmental regulations by themselves have a chokehold on business.
None of them went to jail in 2008 which is just compounding the problem.
The next time the banks go belly up they plan to take your money directly rather than have the government bail them out.
“The next time the banks go belly up they plan to take your money directly rather than have the government bail them out.”
I’ve read that and I think that would end the banking system, but we’ll see.
Not one single republican ever, not once, not ever voted for obamacare. There’s a Biblically huge difference for you right there.
“Not one single republican ever, not once, not ever voted for obamacare. There’s a Biblically huge difference for you right there.”
Yet it gets funded year after year.
It wouldn’t exist if there were more republicans.
Companies think that it would add to their bottom line, to move manufacturing out of the country.
Trump is using the issue of tariffs as an incentive to keep companies from leaving the U.S., because it would not be a financial incentive to do so.
In this case, he is trying to keep companies in the U.S. so the effects of retaining a dollar in the U.S. occurs, rather than having it go out of the country. That is, a dollar paid by a company to a U.S. employee, gets spent on food, products. This provides income to other businesses, community and adds to the tax base. This money then gets spread to other businesses, etc. A dollar spent on a product made outside the U.S. goes to the company, then partially to foreign workers, and foreign government.
The issues about high taxes, minimum wages, etc. is a separate issue, which needs to be addressed differently by cutting regulations, etc. He has spent some time about cutting these during the primary debates.
In rallies, he hasn't spent the time to explain this clearly, however, he's going to have to do a better job of it, to sell it to the general public.
?
That is the title of the link.
Currency manipulation and trade restrictions are not core issues causing businesses to flee our country.
No you have to use your noodle a little bit and put two and two together. Higher business costs translates into higher prices to the consumer.
Wonderful but you still can’t explain how government-forced higher prices to the American consumer attacks the core issues of why companies are fleeing the U.S.
Kinda like Obama. If you don’t acknowledge the threat causing the problem, how can you fix it?
That’s because he is trying to win the blue collar Reagan dems in industrial swing states. They are more interested in revitalizing & protecting manufacturing jobs than tax cuts for the corporations; even though they are inextricably linked.
Also, it seems the only people who don’t know how badly the chicoms and others use subterfuge to gain industrial advantage over the US are the folks writing at the WSJ.
That is regarding tariffs as a means of revenue for the government, not tariffs as a means of protectionism.
Good, then maybe that will free him to get busy actually attacking the problem by getting rid of minimum wage and regulations.
Respectfully, most economists don’t get the free market economy of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman, but have been steeped instead in the Keynesian school of government interference in the economy.
Wage and price controls, like socialism itself, ALWAYS end up in train wrecks.
If what you say is true, America shouldn’t have any business ventures - they all should have gone to Africa or something. Of course that’s ludicrous. Business will go where the business climate of low cost is is maximized which until recently was the U.S.
Yes, government-forced hikes in the costs of doing business, like minimum wage and suffocating dead-end regulations, do cause businesses to look elsewhere to maximize profits and keep costs down. That’s the job of business. They would be stupid to do otherwise. Government interference only makes matters worse.
Hillary is going DOWN baby. She’s going down to Chinatown. See you at Trump’s inauguration in January.
:)
Wonderful. Now, please explain how how government-forced higher prices to the American consumer attacks the core issues of why companies are fleeing the U.S.
