I am no fan of Palin, I used to really DISlike her but she is right on this issue. We all remember Obama’s interference with Solyndra? There must be an even playing field which Trump has been saying all along. No special deals for anyone; that is the American way and the fair way. I don’t know what Carrier was offered and haven’t really been following it but I hope it was on the up and up. Joe Schmoe down the street and his little business is just as important as any other business person. This is the American way.
I totally get what your saying but don't want to have to stand outside and hand crank that Schmoe air conditioner in my window.
Maybe if I could get a Mexican to do it? Hmmm.
Whenever a company moves into an area, they look to see what kind of deal they can get out of the state. What Trump did is not any different than what goes on all the time. What Obama did to the car industry was completely illegal. Yet no one complained. He took it over, refused to pay the loans, decided what dealers got to stay in business and bailed the companies out with tax payers money and gave the companies to the union.
I don’t see Trump’s phone call as crony capitalism. He’s offering them a tax break that he plans to give to all companies.
Sarah Palin offered deals to the energy companies in Alaska. What’s the difference?
