Bernie Sanders: Donald Trump Just Let Carrier Take the U.S. ‘Hostage’
As Donald Trump celebrated his deal with Carrier to keep 1,000 jobs in the country Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) is warning that the deal should be cause for concern.
That’s because the President-elect managed to pull the deal off by offering the air-conditioner manufacturer by offering tax breaks to Carrier’s parent company—United Technologies—worth an estimated $700,000 annually for several years, a source close to the firm told Fortune. The company initially planned to send some 2,000 Indianapolis-based jobs to Mexico
In an op-ed on the Washington Post, Sanders argues that in doing so, Trump had essentially awarded a company that was threatening to move abroad—a maneuver that may now be used by other U.S. corporations hoping to lower their costs.
“He has signaled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives,” Sanders wrote, noting that Trump has once threatened to make Carrier “pay a damn tax.” “Even corporations that weren’t thinking of offshoring jobs will most probably be reevaluating their stance this morning.”
The U.S. has a high corporate tax rate around 35%, which has triggered several corporate inversions deals in recent years, such as the now broken mega-merger between U.S.-based Pfizer and Irish drugmaker, Allergan. Trump has promised on the campaign trail to also lower corporate taxes to 15% in a bid to fuel investments and keep companies in the states.
“In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won,” the onetime presidential candidate wrote. “And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country.“ 作者: pp_dream 时间: 2016-12-2 05:51

我对未来的几年会有什么政策性的方向性的变化也相当的迷惑,不知该跟孩子怎么解惑,我比她还迷惑。她问我历史会倒退吗?我安慰她,我认为走到当今这个现代化程度和开放程度,历史不是那么容易就倒退的。我跟她说,不论发生什么,不论是Alt-Right还是Alt-Left,fight for your right anytime! anywhere! 我说我认为在未来的几年,我们可能会要支持主流媒体了,呵呵。
