    Heck we should move all jobs to Mexico! That would also solve the illegal immigration problem, since mexicans would not want to come here since all the jobs are down there! But then I guess Mexico would have the immigration problem as American started sneaking into Mexico to get the jobs there.
    Mexico is not very welcoming to illegal aliens.

      I see that IBD didn't get the memo that this study has been "discredited" by absolutely neutral parties who have no motivation to dispute its results.

        Generally, when the left engages in a protest it soon becomes indistinguishable from a riot as cars gets vandalized, windows smashed and fires set followed by all of the bottles, bricks... getting thrown at police.

        We still get told how extremist and potentially psychopathically violent those who participated in Tea Party demonstrations were but when you compare their rallies to even the most placid left-wing demonstration the former positively looks like a church picnic.

As for who carries on with the derogatory labeling? Oh my, I'm so sorry that she called a bunch of white nationalists deplorable and then the white nationalists on reddit pretended that she was calling all of Trumps supporters that
        I saw it and I heard where she estimated that half of Trump's supporters -- over 31.3 million Americans (not counting millions more who didn't vote) -- are irredeemably deplorable. And the leaked emails revealed a disdain for even those who normally can be counted on to vote Democrat. Openly mocking Catholics and what they called "needy Latinos" for instance.

          By fabricating a strawman misrepresentation of the methodology employed and attacking it rather than the study.

              Trump won because Americans can't tell the difference between reality TV and actual reality - that's why they elected one of reality TV's stars. People loved his show and it's staged antics, so it shouldn't be a surprise they'd support him. It's funny that the right-wing whines about celebrities and yet, they keep giving the public these movie stars and reality TV hosts as candidates. It's honestly embarrassing to be an American and watch these side show acts win.

              I'm waiting for the GOP to nominate one of the Kardashians.

                I hope you and the liberal establishment keep on believing that fantasy - that will help keep your side nicely out of touch, and less likely to be in power.

                  That's evident. I have wondered what you do with your time between campaigns, as that seems to be your main line of work.

                    I hope you and the conservative circus will continue to vote for these side show acts that provide all the evidence I need to demonstrate my point.

                      I don't get what's to be angry about here? The company is staying. There's less taxes on them without it costing the state more. It's a good deal.

                          You know I don't mind him breaking, or rather softening his promises when it means he's doing good stuff. Wake me up when he's done something bad.

                            so 800 union jobs paying probably at least 50K per year. at 25% tax rate that is $10 million per year in tax revenue. for a tax break of 700K per year for the corporation. that is a 930K gain in taxes for the government. sounds like a pretty sweet deal for everyone. the company wins. the employees win, and the government wins.

                            Go Trump!

                              Keep this attitude up and you'll soon be saying 'president Trump' for 8 years instead of 4.
