David McIntosh, president of the conservative Club for Growth, never imagined that he’d be spending $1 million to knock down Donald Trump.

Should be called cuckservative club for growth. Trump already showed the letter from these people asking for money. When he declined to give them the million dollars, they started to attack him. There is nothing conservative about this group.

“There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr.Trump’s position on illegal immigration he “Trumps” all others conservatism.”

“This is what the club is all about,” said McIntosh during an interview in his corner office, seven blocks from the White House. “We tell truth about people when they’re pretending to be conservatives and they’re not.”

Conservative: I am not sure that word has any meaning these days. It used to be a conservative was interested in maintaining the values of the Founding Fathers. This guy seems to think it means maintaining your "corner office".

“Serious question ... why does the American management of American companies send some jobs overseas?”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Because American companies are wildly overtaxed and overregulated here in the US. The cost of doing business overseas is much, much less.

In turn, the high taxes and regulation have been put in place by politicians bought and paid for by the Ruling Elite who want to dissolve borders and exploit low-wage workers, who are for all intents and purposes slaves.

Yes! And, in a free enterprise system, doesn't it make sense to make a rational economic decision?

The Unions ... protected by the democRAT party ... and Government corporate taxes are the CULPRIT! Any conservative POTUS candidate should condemn these in order to bring more jobs.

“That role is welcomed now by establishment Republicans who view the uncensored Trump as alienating the critical voters – among Hispanics and women – they’ll need to win back the White House next year.”

Of course, those geniuses seem to forget that attacking Trump will alienate the 72% of the GOP base who are infuriated with the lying, cringing, sold-out, PC, DC insider GOP establishment scum who continuously stab we American workers in the back and who have done ZERO to stop a single piece of obama’s kommie agenda. So if they get their way and manage to nuke Trump, then the GOP will see their biggest defeat since obama won his first term, including loss of the entire down ticket, because the GOP base has had it and are just going to stay home because they are no longer going to be motivated by the “lesser of two evils”, being as how they’ve finally figured out that the GOPe and the Rats are just two sides of the same Uniparty coin.

Is the Club for Growth a Club for Bush?

“Because labor is cheaper, and the US has the highest corporate income tax in the world...35%”

The main reason is that the cost of employing here is completely out of control.

It’s not just the wages, it’s the huge cost of complying with the myriad of laws, regulations, requirements, government dictates, state regulations, and a “Pandora’s Box” of legal and regulatory pitfalls an employer incurs when hiring anyone.

The money actually paid to an employee is severely affected by these “hidden” costs. When shipping jobs overseas none of these forces apply. That’s why outsourcing occurs...our own government has caused it.

If American employers were to pay their employees in cash, set up a table with multiple other people sitting at it who represented the legal, government and all other costs (including Social Security) and the money removed from the hand of the employee and passed down the table with each “leach” taking their share of it until the original money (what’s left of it) was given to the employee, for the first time ever, they would actually know how bad it really is and have physical proof of what our government is doing to us.

However, our government hides these costs so that employees never see them. Take Social Security matching, Unemployment insurance, and a host of other hidden costs for example.

I’ve been an employer for over 35 years and with each passing year the cost of all regulatory requirements and costs involved with employees continues to grow. On top of that OSHA and other “safety” and insurance requirements continue to be out of control.

Yes, foreign workers work for “peanuts” and the reasons I cite are why American businesses are fleeing the mainland. However, what we call “peanuts” is a decent standard of living over there. I wonder why? Maybe it’s because that the cost of living over there is not affected by a bloated government out of control and a legal system in which you are guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around.

It’s time to give the entire paycheck to the employee and make them responsible for paying their own taxes, Social Security and every other cost the employer incurs due to hire them. Then, the revolution will finally occur to regain our freedoms from the chains of government involvement.

The belief that Trump is duping his supporters derives from a cabal of politicians who have been duping their constituency for decades. They simply cannot imagine any other scenario, certainly not truth and reality.
