$7M is a small price to pay considering you make zero tax revenue from option B: a shuttered Carrier and 1000 unemployed people and their families.

hmph....people actually believe this...???

Average wage rate at Carrier is $31. 1000 x 31 x 8 x 5 x 52 = $64,480,000 paid in salary assuming 40 hour work week.

State income tax rate is 3.3% which translates to $2,127,840. Tax incentives are $700,000 per year.

Net gain to the state coffers = $1,427,840

I'm not sure what not to believe? Simple math proves my point.

Where does that average wage rate come from? What employees are included? I doubt the average carrier worker makes that much if you exclude the suits that wouldn't be losing their jobs anyways.

USATODAY article. $30.91 to be exact.

Not sure how they define it, but in my experience the term "wage" is used in reference to hourly workers, not salaried.

I've been critical of the clown since he announced he was running. At least this is a positive thing. Would have been great if he could have saved all the jobs. The city of Huntington will be crushed. But something is better then nothing.

But why is nobody talking about the "consequences" Trump said he was going to levy against companies that leave the US? Yes, half the plant is staying but half is still leaving. Where are the penalties?

Is he president? No. He has no authority to penalize them.

Again, most people were smart enough to know Trump's campaign was one big negotiation strategy. It is ridiculous that anyone would possibly believe Trump was going to deport 11 million people or form a Muslim registry. At the end of the day people voted for a president that they though would take issues like immigration, Obamacare, jobs, etc seriously. That is what they wanted. The how and what is still to be decided.

At the end of the day they voted out of fear and trump used the theme's listed to manipulate enough people by weaving a message of fear into those policies. Yes his policies are ridiculous, but a lot of people that voted for him that can still link thoughts together convinced themselves that these were good policies so they thought they weren't supporting a bigot. Trump tapped into a group of conservatives who think they aren't prejudiced, but actually are.
