Trump

[Rupert Pupkin]

Trump is off to a good start:

"Carrier Corp. has reached an agreement with President-elect Donald Trump to keep "close to 1,000 jobs" in the city, scrapping a plan to shift all of its Indianapolis operations to Mexico."

I don't remember him promising to do it via tax credits or other bribery. Isn't that a bad precedent to set? Wasn't his original plan to punish them if they did that. He is doing basically same ole same ole, paying ransom to those corporate terrorists holding jobs for ransom. But then again he is not yet the president so we shall see.

I don't know where you are getting this. This article doesn't mention anything about "tax credits or other bribery".

Likely has a lot more to do with this:

>>>For one, Carrier's parent company, Connecticut-based United Technologies Corp., is a large government contractor. About 10 percent of the company's $56 billion in annual revenue comes from the government, according to The New York Times. The company "would like to start off on the right foot" with a new presidential administration, Tatikonda said.<<<

Than it does following the same, tired, broken, failed polices of the current administration (Stimulus much?)..

It only mentions that they were in the final throes of leaving for Mexico and had returned the state tax credit they received from Indiana.

For the record he has always maintained that the corporate tax rate in this nation is ludicrous and will lower it to 15%-20% to encourage similar actions from other companies that are being driven out of here in droves by the current administrations failed trade policies.

Tax credits is what I heard on the news yesterday. Maybe that is what "Incentives" means. The point you italicized is a very good one and most certainly was a deciding factor if that is how it was played. If it was played that way Kudos.
