Bernie Sanders blasts Carrier move to Mexico

"This is not acceptable. This is the kind of corporate behavior that is destroying the middle class of this country," he said. "This is the kind of corporate behavior that together we will end."

On the decision to move Indiana jobs to Mexico, Sanders said, "They have no shame. They have no sense of embarrassment."

Bill Clinton stumps for Hillary at her campaign HQ in Indianapolis

"Carrier explains a lot of the inequality that's happening today," Clinton said, saying that corporate greed, not business considerations, led the company to announce its plans to shed 1,400 Indianapolis jobs and relocate its manufacturing operation to Mexico.

"Why would anybody leave the No. 1 manufacturing state in America at a time" when it is posting close to $3 billion in profits? Clinton asked. The problem, he said, is too many corporations, like Carrier, are motivated by giving money back to shareholders and executives, and not to workers.

To address this, Clinton said his wife's economic plan would offer tax credits for companies that "fairly share profits with employees."
