The WTO had done more damage to this country than ISIS.

The retail price would stay at $3000, and carrier would pocket all of the difference.

Advocates of outsourcing keep telling us how great cheap production costs are for consumers. The dirty little secret is that few if any of these cheaper production costs are passed onto a consumers. If people are currently willing to pay $3K for a US made air conditioning unit, Carrier will go on charging 3K for the same unit even if it halves production costs by building them in Mexico.

Why is this so hard for some to understand?

I want to know when this big, mythical savings to consumers occurred due to offshoring. No one can show that it ever happened. They did it to increase their profit margin. The consumer was charged the same price they’d always charged.

Stick to your new vacation home that Hillary paid for and let the serious business people run the country.

Just a short few months ago, Trump was pledging to force United Technologies to “pay a damn tax.”

Hey Bernout!

In just a short few months...he probably will.

He's not even sworn in yet.

Too bad they didn’t show you how to beat Hillary, Bernie.

Technically yes. But if you tax them enough their prices become unsustainable and their business is hurt.

Yes, bringing Jobs back to America is a Negative from an AVOWED COMMUNIST, I do not think he is a Commie, he just used the meme to get people to BELIEVE IN Him..
