In March 2016, the Carrier air conditioning company announced it would move 1,400 jobs from the U.S. state of Indiana to Mexico. In November 2016 U.S. President elect Donald Trump and Carrier announced a deal which would keep 1,000 jobs in Indiana in exchange for $7 million in tax breaks. Proponents argue that the deal prevented jobs from moving overseas and will help grow the U.S. economy. Opponents argue that the deal will encourage more private companies to make threats about job losses in exchange for tax breaks.

@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, but drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, and drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses
It should depend on the situation and the company.
Yes, but only if they severely need it.
@98XZ2PS2 days
Companies shouldn't have them under government control in certain situations.
Idk what that means and have no thought on it
@98PZZ8F2wks
Yes, respective of current national financial state and local impact

No, but nationalize any and all corporations that outsource

Would need to do more research before deciding a stance
@MD1002mos
No, I do not think that the president has that power

@985D2LV2mos
Yes, but only in extreme consequences with clear and evident facts to prove that the company itself needs it.

@97ZYZY62mos
Any company making so much %on profit
@97XGVRW2mos
The President has no right to tax or to offer relief from taxes.
No, I would prefer that this offer come from the states rather than the executive branch. That said, I wouldn't mind this strategy in some circumstances.
dont undertsand what this means
@97QWDW53mos
yes, depending on the company
@97P7CK33mos
Yes, but only enough so the employees have enough for the basics
No, not to individual companies, but US taxes should be competitive to attract companies and job from all over the world
Yes, but US taxes should be competitive to attract companies and job from all over the world

@Northman493mos
Yes, reduce all taxes to the point that foreign businesses can't compete.
@97G4RWP3mos
No, but decrease the tax
@97DRL5B3mos
No. Tax breaks should be illegal for corporations and billionaires. They just want to exploit cheap labor somewhere else for more of a profit. Make it illegal to outsource jobs for exploitation; if an economy needs to exploit others for profit, it is corrupt, and if it needs to look elsewhere to exploit for survival, it is weak and needs to foster potential inside of its own country. If workers in both countries are treated equally as well, then it is perfectly healthy and moral to do.
@97CQS543mos
If your an American company you must keep the money and the manufacturing in the usa or no company... If your a company based outside of the USA 50%of your products have to be made in the USA or you don't sell here...
@97CMQFV3mos
Yes but very sparingly.
@97BRPG83mos
Yes but only if said companies only hire white people
@97BG67G3mos
No, plus end tax incentives and close loopholes.
i think the government should tax people but a certain amount to the point where the individual with his own job can still make a living out of it and have a certain amount of money coming back to them
No, this system feels like it could be exploited heavily.
Congress should do that and only if the economy is great and will continue to be great in the future
@96PZY453mos
Sometimes if really needed
@96NN9CD3mos
Only to companies that involve high-skill jobs.
@96PN4XH3mos
No, the US should work with other nations to ensure that corporations pay their fair share.
@96N99DH4mos
Yes, but only for companies who have an income below $5000000
