Thanks For The Bailout, Suckers! GM Builds A New Plant In China
http://www.rightwingnews.com ^ | may 9, 2013 | John Hawkins

Posted on 05/10/2013 3:33:32 AM PDT by lowbridge

As a general rule, corporations should be able to build plants where they want, whether it’s in America or elsewhere. Moreover, if they choose to go overseas, we should be asking, “Why is that?” Are our corporate taxes too high? Do we have too many regulations? Is there something else that we can do as a nation to be more business-friendly, to keep building plants here in America, so that we can employ more people and rake in more taxes?

However, it’s a little different with a company like General Motors.

Taxpayers lost more than 10 billion bailing out GM because Obama thinks it’s fine for his corporate allies to embrace capitalism on the way up and socialism on the way down. Now, GM’s taking some of that money that it pilfered from us and it’s building a plant in China with it.

Dittos. Immigration should be 100% dependent on what is good for the American population not what is good for the immigrants. Same for free trade problems. We have lost to sell outs in DC so we have a huge problem on both fronts. But free trade should be run by us to benefit American producers not consumers. No healthy economy is consumer driven

You need to get out more. The rest of the world is working their butts off

They are educated, they know how to buy and sell and don’t whine incessantly about straw men to revert to some anomalous past circumstances

We are not the world Bert. We are a nation with defensible borders and national economic interests. All Asian nations think this way. The world is a hostile place without uniform law. Only libertarian loser nations buy into free trade theories. This kind of stupidity is unknown in tech-oriented Asian nations and I respect them for this

You are the dinosaur Bert. Edmundo too. The Chinese would love to have every American thinking your way. Did you at least make some money via your sell out theories? Were they put into practice?

They are opening a plant to build cars to sell in China. Ironically, cars that wouldn’t be legal in the US.

Does anyone truly think that paying bloated UAW salaries and benefits and then spending millions in shipping is a good idea just to put some Americans to work?

But they are concentrated in several industries like auto manufacturing and service centers via the SEIU.

And they use the federal government to try and squash those that won’t use unionzed labor. Like Nissan in TN, Volkswagon in TN, Mercedes in AL, etc.

The Chinese will steal 100% of the tech that GM puts into their factory in China. But why should GM care since GM is an Obama subsidiary. Why should any libertarian like you care? The ChiComs love free trade and American libertarianism

The Chinese will hack anything they can via remote computers and steal any tech they can. Thanks stooopid Americans!!!! I respect and understand them.

How do you say “Thanks Stooopid Americans” in Mandarin?

And they have succeeded how much? zero admit it! I despise union rackets and scamsters but all they have blocked so far is Boeing manufacturing in South Carolina.

Ya mean those lazy out of work Americans? They want too much money and those Communist Chinese will work for a fraction of that, right Fledermaus ?

Maybe the can now all get jobs stocking shelves and selling Communist Chinese products at Walmart? No union there. A win win!

BTW, there are now more unionized government employees than in private sector America. But that's OK right, because they don't make or produce anything except economic chaos while winking and nodding at Communist China.

These libertarian dipshits still have not figured out that they will be taxed to support Obama’s armies of the unemployed. Its happening already.

Far better to be “taxed” via tariffs so Obama’s minions have jobs. Pick your poison and free trade libertarians always pick wrong due to personal conceits

With age does not come wisdom-—you being a prime example. Don’t worry buddy. We have a new crop coming along who will sell out America 10x quicker than you. You are a free trade libertarian slouch compared to them. You won’t get screwed because you got yours when America was still great.

But your offspring and children of your offspring will

“How do you say “Thanks Stooopid Americans” in Mandarin?”

(Xie xie ni men ben dan, de Mei guo ren.)

We really need to re-set our national agenda.

Our balance is now negative, and we are about to start shrinking. Big time.

Bring back American jobs and manufacturing.

Now.
