So trump is talking about Carrier closing in the US and moving 1400 jobs to Mexico, there is a video where these people are distraught of course.
trump though says he would tell Carrier if you move 'he will get consensus and tax Carrier so much their move wouldn't be worth it'.
So by every measure that conservatives 'trump up' about not wanting government to interfere with their lives or business, this certainly qualifies as 'government heavily regulating business'. For trump its to the point of threatening a single company with the overwhelming power of the federal government.
Simply put, this represents, in its most naked form, conservative ideas?
After 40 years of republican outsourcing of our jobs. What other choice do we have? Trump is at least somewhat right.
Don't misunderstand me, I would also make it difficult and very expensive for companies to move out of the country and take those jobs with them.
The question is for conservatives that seem to support this guy. I'm wondering why.
Keeping manufacturing in America is in the national interest.
I don't remember WWII, but my folks told me about rationing, and the manufacturing sector turning to war production. My kin worked for National Cash Register in Ohio when they shifted production to anti-aircraft gun magazines; my uncle...too old for service, worked at Bethlehem Steel Mills.
Where is Bethlehem Steel today?
Where is NCR's manufacturing plant?
