Mark Levin was saying the same thing on his program this afternoon. Is he a shill, as well? Palin is pretty consistent in taking the high road. Sometimes her words ar a little harsh (like PE Trump), but since she attacked your man, now she is a shill?
Trumps helping Carrier, right out of the gate, sends two messages. First, that he is a man of his word. That’s good for him across the board for the doubters on the hairy edge of trust in the rust belt.
The sceond message is that, now, there is precident for any company that is flagging financially due to mismanagement, cost of raw materials, exchange rates, pick the excuse, to threaten to move over-seas as a solution. Now, there is precident for bailing out failing companies on a micro level, and “to cut a deal” at the expense of the taxpayer.
This needs to be shut down quickly. Trump needs to tell Ford to think very carefully before they move, and continue to iterate that punitive tariffs and tax incentives are on the way. Trump only brought a carrot to the Carrier deal, he forgot the stick
Remember that Trump is just a man elected to do a job, not a diety or institution that must be protected at all costs. He screwed up today, and Palin, among others, called him out based on conservative principles, nothing more.
No need to shoot the messenger. Yes, her motives are obvious, she’s a principled woman.
Tax shifts, really, where the higher taxes will be on the ones who abandon America, but lower taxes on the ones who don’t.
What has Newt had to say?
Sorry but I don’t agree. No mistake was made by Trump.
On the microcosm large companies know they have leverage because of the taxes they will pay and that those taxes are a large part of some towns budgets. So the companies shop around for deals and the town that has the best package for road access, services and tax rebate gets the business. This is the same thing writ large. That’s why we elected Trump; he knows how to make deals. Deals that benefit America like this one.
As stated in my first post on this thread, I agree with what Palin wrote. I also agree with Levin.
Levin’s motives are pure.
Palin’s motive is butt hurt at being ignored after being a shameless shill and getting passed over.
