Every company competing with Carrier for sales, capital and other resources, is at a disadvantage because they're paying for the favor Trump and Pence have given Carrier.

Makes sense to me. Thankfully a President-elect does not have the power of the pen.

Get to work, Paul. Make it equal across the board. Here's your chance to prove your not a left-wing hack.

States have been giving incentives to businesses to create jobs for years.

This is not sensical. I am from Washington State. When Lowery was gov., he gave Boeing many tax breaks to keep them in Washington. By keeping Boeing in Washington State, the jobs at Boeing were kept as well as the jobs from companies that supplied Boeing. And, that save many, many jobs that aren't readily apparent and are mostly hidden.

When Locke was gov., Boeing asked for some tax relief or they would move their headquarters to Chicago. He didn't give it to them and they move the headquarters. Boy, was he surprised. Typical, stupid democrat.

Trump gave no favor to Carrier. The state of Indiana did in order to keep them from moving to another state. Trump didn`t need the tax break to keep them in the U.S.. He had all the leverage he needed to keep them here without it.

“Every company competing with Carrier for sales, capital and other resources, is at a disadvantage because they’re paying for the favor Trump and Pence have given Carrier.”

Like all those air conditioners made in Japan and China that are sent here after being built with near slave labor. The foreign competition is criminal. I can remember when Japan, facing tariffs on their big-screen CRT TVs and other home electronics were shipping everything through Singapore with big markups (Singapore didn’t tax the stuff) so then they could ship it here to sell without any markup thus avoiding our tariffs. “Free trade” with Asia has never been “free,” so now it’s time to at least make it “fair.”
