INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Feb. 10, 2016) – Carrier plans to relocate its Indianapolis operations to Mexico over the next three years, a move that will affect about 1,400 jobs.
Jobs will begin transitioning to Monterrey, Mexico, in 2017, with completion estimated in 2019. The company manufactures heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems at its plant located on West Morris Street.
Lay this at the feet of our corrupt tax code and regulations created by our corrupt government.
Hear that sucking sound? (Ross Perot)
Taxes, regulation = moving out.
You are so right, and Mark Levin was working under Edwin Meese during this period of time. I know some things about this dirty dealings, but, will refrain.
Has anyone thought about lowing taxes and regulations to keep them here? Big business isn’t the problem in America. Big government is.
Profits regardless of consequences.
Since these companies/fat corps have zero allegiance to America, they should treat them the exact same way.
The 100% tariff is too pay the welfare to the illegal Mexican invaders. Maybe 200% so they pay for that wall. We have the ability to make Mexico secure that border overnight we just choose not to.
Sure drop corporate tax rate to zero and institute a 30% import tariff on all manufactured goods.
Agreed, however, over 90% of the federal government’s income was provided by tariffs, up until the 1900s.
You seriously don't understand the game. Big Cap manufacturers LOVE EPA regs and OSHA regs because the per unit produced cost of those is negligible and it keeps the riff-raff upstarts out of the market.
“The cartels don’t dare mess with the companies.”
From what I’ve read, you are right.
The Cartels only seem to grease politicians to keep key people out of jail, gather information, and insure their product remains profitable.
We could end the War on Drugs tomorrow if these politicians were serious about eradicating the big dealers. I suspect the problem is that most politicians from Alaska to the tip of South America are paid off one way or another :-)!
Lowering corporate taxes is a good start. That alone would keep a lot of jobs here.
You got it. The big fat corps love the regs and EPA crap.
The little peons known as their former competitors, can’t even compete with the well connected big boys.
Hmmm, Ted could have taken the lead on these issues during his 3 years in the senate. Wonder why he didn’t? Guess it must be some legal mumbo jumbo that kept him from showing any initiative.
Isn't Ted in congress right now?
Please share these things. He acts if he's the paragon of virtue.
First, Peyton Manning left...now this!
Trump is right again.
People with no jobs will not be purchasing goods, no matter how cheap.
Up until the income tax, that is.
