    Some dumbass you are. Carrier's parent company brings in over 50 billion a year and you're going to say it's a "free market"?? The goal of Capitalism is not to downsize and move your company out of the country for cheaper labor.

    Go **** yourself.

    The goal of capitalism is to make the most money possible, moving your factory to another country to increase profits is exactly what capitalism supports.

    Like has been said. Corporations are in the business of maximizing their shareholder value. Maybe if you picked up a book some time you'd educate yourself on how capitalism and the free market actually works.

    Honest question... Do you know what the phrase "free market" means?

    A free market would be the United States not having a minimum wage. Having a minimum wage that is 10x higher than Mexico's, endless regulations that Mexico doesn't have is not a free market. That's called stacking the deck against America.

    Have Trump build a wall to keep them in America. Have Mexico pay for it.

    Chewing clearly hates America. But the question is why?

    Why, Pat? Why do you hate America and bald eagles? Why?

    Free market in THIS country.

    If it were truly a free market, every company would outsource the work to 5 year olds in India, which I'm sure you'd be cool with.

    Nice strawman though.

    Of course, if we want to play the 'free market' game, which leftists in this thread seem to support, then get rid of OSHA and get rid of the minimum wage. Free market and all. That's what we're cheering here, right? So don't stop here, keep your cheering going all the way.

    american workers are generally lazier, entitled, and less productive than your average mexican.

    american regulations, taxes, etc. are company killers.

    move over the skill need employee's like the engineers and use the mexicans as automatons at 1/10 the cost of your average american employee who wants his month of paid vacation, 401k, etc. etc.....Win

    Pretty much hit the nail on the coffin. We cannot compete with developing countries unless if we were to okay paying folks $2 a day.

    Well if you're in favour of complete deregulation of the market then let's leave everything up to the free market. I'm you'll be fine with paying for the roads you drive on, police service, fire service etc.

    Only because left wing bureaucracy making it bad business for American companies to be based in America.

    Lefties literally worked to incentivize American business men to start their companies in foreign countries and use foreign labor and production.

    Hold this L dems.


    Laissez faire. Bring it back Trump.
