This might actually be smart on her part. Shows Trump that she’s not just a sycophant wanting a job.
It stinks. Just lower ALL corp tax.
Does Palin even know what the actual “deal” was?
Well if America as a whole can be called cronies, I guess that would call for a plea of “guilty, but so bleeping what, Sarah?”!
Apparently she didn’t get offered a crony spot she expected for her shilling and is now faking the faux high road.
Theoretically she is correct. But her motives are obvious.
Instead of cutting individual deals, how about eliminating corporate taxes altogether? Make this the most business friendly country in the world, taxes wise.
Without being privy to the inner details of the Carrier deal, sounds like Sarah has a valid conservative point.
I’m with Palin. Anyone honest with themselves knows Trump is a mixed bag. However we’d be dead if Hillary had won, and Ted couldn’t have weathered the corruption.
I have supported Palin forever.
Since BEFORE McCain even announced he was picking her for his Vice Presidential nominee.
But Palin needs to shut up about this. Trump is advocating for American businesses.
IT IS ABOUT TIME, that someone is.
Trump is completely, totally right, to do so.
Sorry Palin, but you are off-base this time.
I don’t totally agree with her on this. I think what Trump is doing is rolling back the Obama regulations including those of the EPA that put the hurt on businesses. This will be good for all the companies and not just for Carrier.
From what I read the $7 million over 10 years was already on the table from the state of Indiana. There may be other things we do not know about but overall I think it is a win-win.
Not only Carrier will have jobs saved but the support and supply companies will also have jobs saved. I also believe this will affect the local retailers as well.
I guess Sarah’s been listening to Mark Levin because that’s what he’s been saying.
Unlike many here, I’ve never been much of a Palin fan. She seems to talk a good game and then quit at halftime.
This is really just “popping off” before anything has a chance to get done. Trump simply did what he had promised in this particular situation. Palin disgraced herself for opening her big mouth here. Sure, this kind of “deal” isn’t how Trump will go about fixing the problems of jobs leaving the country, but he’s not yet in a position to do anything concrete. Palin was way out of line, and she displays a lack of understanding circumstances. She needs to take some lessons from Mad Dog Mattis! Maybe he could recommend some serious reading.
She should know better than this.
Doesn’t Sarah have a new reality show to undertake?
“Then special interests creep in and manipulate markets. Republicans oppose this, remember? ........ “
—
Sarah, I don’t care what republicans oppose. They’ve been losers to way too long. We have to stop the bleeding NOW.
It isn’t “crony capitalism”. Well depends on her specific definition of the term and context. It is though about government regulation, which can be said to be more ‘nationalistic’; some may call it a socialist approach. Anyhow, it is definitely not a “free market” approach.
Am not across the specifics of the deal. Lowering company (enterprise) tax to incentivize has been used before, elsewhere.
However, lowering taxes alone for an enterprise (company) actually means the company increases its profit margin, and is under no obligation to create jobs or retain jobs.
Unless keeping 1,000 jobs (FTEs) is specified in the deal. Even then the company can still reduce salaries and benefits to maintain or increase its labour costs, hence increase profit margin. Other factors at play too.
Always hated her and have always been attacked by her by Palin lemmings on FR.
Certainly Gov. Pence and his legal counselors would not have approved anything that is illegal. Also, was Carrier planning to move the jobs before the inauguration? If so, that could well be the reason as I am sure he is planning to implement tax policy to keep US businesses here.
