Indiana officials agreed to give United Technologies Corp. $7 million worth of tax breaks over 10 years to encourage the company’s Carrier Corp. unit to keep about 1,000 jobs in the state, according to people familiar with the matter.

It seems there will be a need for hiring to complete the task of modernizing. Trumps said the tax rate was 35%, that is just plain obscene. I am still trying to locate the accused 'bribe' in all this.
There are 2 factories that were going to be closed employing a total of around 2100 employees. Now they’re going to stay open employing around 1000 people. 1100 of those jobs are still going away.

And maybe if aliens came down and ate anyone not a mind numb Cruz worshiping drone then you “True Conservatives” int he purity choir can have your politically perfect world.
Letting people keep their OWN money rather then taxing it way from them is GOOD. It is the heart of Conservatism.
You not going to undo 100 years of creeping socialism by stamping you feet and holding your breath demanding ideologically perfect poltical dogmas.
