Well now, it seems we have a slight dilemma among conservative thought.

She misses the point.

Where was Sarah when Trump talked for months on end about changing the tax structure to keep jobs here, and bring jobs back. He also addressed tax breaks to help corporations bring back massive cash holdings overseas.

Even if you have a problem with some of Trump’s agenda, do you do what Sarah has done here?

She should know better.

Not really, I don’t think. Tax breaks for individual companies to “induce” them to do what government wants is not a “conservative” thing to do.

It’s not surprising that Trump did it, he’s more of a populist and not particularly conservative economically, he’s got a lifetime history of government/business entanglements.

It’s nice that Sarah is willing to say what she believes and not be worried about what Trump will think.

Am I supposed to think that being President-elect somehow makes Trump king of Indiana and he can give this company tax breaks?

Lowering taxes probably is a good way to attract companies and keep jobs. Maybe Indiana should just lower their taxes for all companies instead of just this one.

The way to make it fair is to extend said tax breaks to all companies.

That said, in the mean time let’s keep the jobs.

Look, after 8 years of a moribund economy with skilled jobs being shipped overseas by the cargo load, I have no problem whatsoever with Trump doing some heavy lifting to overcome inertia. Let’s get things going in the right direction before we even start sniping.

I have to agree with her.

The Govt should not save jobs and just allow the market and private sector to make it’s own decisions. Trump pilled an obama here as it sets a precedent to ‘CHOOSE’ which companies stays or goes...

PS I guess that’s it for a Cabinet position.

Are these individual subsidies, or is Carrier just getting an advance on what’s coming down the pike for all business? Lower tax rates are not subsidies.

Like you Sarah but you are wrong on this point.

Carrier will get 7 million dollars in savings over 10 years to save 1000 plus American jobs.

That boils down to $700 an employee per year, or $2 a day or .25 cents an hour.

AT THE VERY SAME TIME... Carrier will be investing over 16 million dollars (2 TIMES AS MUCH AS THEY ARE SAVING) in the U.S. Economy.

It

Every city, every town, every village hands out incentives. Our state has numerous programs.

Palin doesn't do enough research.

Now 1000 jobs....means 1000 (probably 2500) people going to lunch, driving to work, buying gas, buying food and clothing, paying local and state and Federal taxes.

Hard to find the loser in the mix except Mexico.

Guess she likes retirement, can’t really blame her but ...
either step back from the table and let someone do the job who was willing to climb into the arena or chalk your nose Sarah.

Trump intends to lower taxes for all. Patience is not a virtue on our side. Trump isn’t even officially POTUS, so it is Pence extending the tax break and all governors go out and lure businesses to their own states with numerous incentives. This is nothing new.

Chill out people and cut the crap for awhile. You may get your dream of Hillary yet!

She has lost her mind. It is the optics of the deal. You talk about choosing the wrong hill to die on. She has no clue about the fine print in the agreement. And congratulating the workers for getting to keep their job and slamming the deal that gave them back their jobs is insanity.

Even if it is crony capitalism, whatever that is, is it a greater sin than selling out the American worker?

It’s a 360 win. Everyone wins.
