Trump's New Precedent: Pay $7000 Per (Economic) Hostage.

[TrollBuster9090]

Yes, apparently America DOES negotiate with terrorists, and pay ransom. Economic terrorists, that is. Now all a company has to do is threaten to send jobs to Mexico, and Trump will fork over $7000 in taxpayer subsidies per employee to not do that.

"Tax Incentives, or I shoot the puppy!"

And why not? After all, that's been the conservative economic philosophy on job creation for a century. Mollycoddle the rich, or else they'll leave. Allow them to stash all their money in the Bahamas, where the IRS can't get at it. That way, when their mansion in Beverly Hills catches on fire, it'll be their gardener whose tax dollars pay the firefighters to put it out.

I say screw that. I say, spend the $7,000,000 on infrastructure projects; and give the executives at Carrier a police escort to the Mexico/U.S. border. Now THAT'S what I call a deportation plan!
