“Trump promised he would substantially reduce the trade deficit, stop the outsourcing of American jobs, and rip up NAFTA. He lied about all three,” Sanders said in a statement. “Since Trump has been in office, our trade deficit in goods has shot up to a record-breaking $891 billion. He has given out $50 billion in government contracts to companies that are shipping jobs overseas. He passed tax cuts that reward companies for offshoring even more jobs. And now more than 185,000 American jobs have been shipped overseas under his watch. We need a president who will actually fight for American workers, keep their promises, and stand up to the giant corporations who close down plants to send jobs overseas.”

And now Trump is touting tax cuts for the middle class. I guess because they didn't get their tax cuts in the first place.

Another non-Trump anti-Trump rant. Trump did the right thing but he doesn't run the company. Big companies are screwing American workers left and right. Why don't you blame the CWA who was supposed to protect them?

He passed tax cuts that reward companies for offshoring even more jobs.

How did the old tax rate punish companies for offshoring?

If you read the article, you would have seen they are being replaced with foreign jobs.

But I'll put you down on the side of AT&T over American workers.

Sanders is partially correct. He's correct on the first two points, but wrong on the third. It's the Democrats that have held up the renegotiation of NAFTA. It only recently passed the House and only because Pelosi was getting pressured to show they were doing something besides wasting three years on investigations and impeachment.


The company I work for recently did the same thing. They gave out extra $1,000 bonuses last year after the tax cuts were passed and then last month announced they were outsourcing our help desk to India.

You know, because tax cuts create jobs.

They do. Just because some companies still choose to outsource doesn't mean it's a failing principle. How do you know AT&T wouldn't have laid off even more people without them? Corporations will always look for ways to cut the bottom line.

Once again the crazy desperate left seems to think that three years is a lifetime. You have to admire a President to works to make America great with better trade deals while a part of the government is working to undermine everything that is great about America. President Trump has turned the Country around from being an apologetic nation to a world power once again and the economy is roaring, consumer confidence is high and an estimated 7 million jobs still go unfilled.
 
Middle class tax cuts of triple of the old cuts will be a good start. Emphasis start.

Tax cuts is one of the reasons why companies move off shore. They have cheap labor and get to keep more of the profits. It's a win/win.

Tax cuts encourage companies to move off shore.

The way to keep American jobs here is to make it too expensive to move to another country.

That is done by taxes. Remove all tax loopholes and any subsidies they get from the government if they move. Put federal income tax to be paid on revenues instead of profits if they move . Raise their income taxes up to 75% or more if they move. Force them to pay 10 times in all payroll taxes than they would have if they had kept the jobs here. Put a new tax on all unearned income for stockholders who invest in companies that move off shore and make it a very high tax.

Make it way too expensive to move jobs.

The last thing to do is give them tax cuts to encourage them to leave.

Those who are really serious about keeping jobs here would support putting serious penalties on all companies that move our jobs to other nations.

I'm sure all the conservatives who scream about jobs leaving would never support such penalties. Heaven forbid that we take real steps to stop our jobs from leaving America.

That is the exact opposite of reality. Taxes discourage off shoring? There is zero logic in that whatsoever. What mechanism does a company having MORE money encourage offshoring? That is another asinine statement. Cheaper production encourages offshoring regardless of what the tax structure does. Higher taxes obviously encourage offshoring as that RAISES the cost of operating here.

I couldn't get past the stupid lie in your first sentence. When I read a lie I stop reading. I don't believe anything after that.

No it's not the exact opposite.

All the jobs started leaving in the 80s when taxes started to be slashed. They've been moving ever since. There's no incentive to stay here because it's cheaper to move. They've been given tax cut after tax cut for nearly 40 years. The tax cuts didn't stop them from leaving. Which is logical. Why stay here if it's cheaper and they can make more money if they leave?

If it's made too expensive to move they will stay here.

All the executives of the companies care about is money. If it's too expensive to move, they willl stay here.

It's simple logic.

Right now they are rewarded for moving. So they move to other nations.

If it's more expensive to move, they won't.

It's logical. But then, when did you far right radical conservatives understand logic and finances?
