Government raises Tax to meet payroll! At least 75% of City/State/Federal expenses are a I'll say Taxpayer subsidy to them popcorn-eatinggif

No, it's actually all the taxes and regulations we have.

Nope, when a company can produce something paying slave labor wages in another country, and not have to pay any duty to bring it back to the US, because of these giveaways to Businesses Trade Deals, that's what's causing this type shit.

No, it's the overall higher costs in America due to higher regulations and taxes. If we cut those costs to undercut Mexico and China, companies will leave Mexico and China and come to America.

The "overall higher cost" is salary. We can't undercut a Country that pays slave wages like $5 a day, no matter how many "regulations" and "taxes" are eliminated. Thankfully we're not a 3rd world Country and thankfully slavery is no longer allowed here. When we charge proper Duty from those Countries, we keep businesses here. But Without charging sufficient Duty, to make it worth a company's while to stay here, Shit Free Trade deals like NAFTA make it worth if for the Businesses to leave, and pay slave wages where they can get away with it. Bernie and Donnie are on the right side of this one.

That's part of the higher costs, but there are other costs that they must pay for opening up shop overseas that they won't pay here, so it is plausible that you can cut away costs and undercut foreign competition. Considering Mexico and China are 2 of our 3 biggest trade partners, they could retaliate and costs us more jobs here.

If you cut costs and some of the more useless regulations then you will be able to make it easier for companies to operate in the US. Overall the benefits of free trade far outweigh the downside. Increased tariffs and protectionism are not the answer.

An unfortunate reality is that a lot of the manufacturing jobs that sustained the middle class 20-30 years ago just aren't the type of jobs that will do so going forward. Low-end/end of assembly manufacturing that doesn't really require skilled labor can mostly be done on the cheap and there is no way to bring these jobs back. If they were in the US now, they would have downward pressure on prices and likely not pay much. Not to mention all the advances in automation and robotics which is accelerating rapidly. Has anyone been in a manufacturing plant lately? Middle to high-end is really the only manufacturing done in this country.

I get why people are buying Trump's hostility towards American business, but his solutions are deeply flawed. Atleast as presented so far.

You shut the fuck up, jackass. I was a member of the International Firefighters Association (IAFF). Unions suck the lifeblood out of America. They are a good ole boy club that looks out for #1 (themselves), they fuck over the employees, and are of no use in 2016 America. If you don't understand why this company decided to outsource to a foreign country you're really ignorant. Those 1400 employees knew what they got into when the took the job....and they believed their Union bosses, who I'm sure bullshitted them all the way to the unemployment line.

And again, do you have a 401K or Roth IRA? Unless you only invest in government bonds YOU need to "STFU". You really are a dumb motherfucker!

Free trade hasn't been perfect but it does make the costs of goods significantly cheaper.

US also benefits from being able to sell goods all over the world. As well as importing cheaper food, oil, clothing, etc

This isn't a trend we want to reverse.

What is the advantage of telling them now? When you are laying someone off, don't give them a year notice.
well it's the respectful thing to do from the employer standpoint

given how the crowd reacted, if their performance suffers over the next year, it makes them look like more of an asshole.

The employees who have no real reason to care though knowing they can get unemployment will just do shoddy jobs on the assembly line and some will intentionally sabotage the product to hurt the company all while looking for a job in the next year.

If I were that employer, I would not do that. If you lay them off that day and agree to pay unemployment in Indiana, you get it for 6 months at a max of $400 a week depending on income.

No doubt you would use videoconferencing software and not give them the news in person. At the end of the video, the secretary comes up from the bottom of the screen and says "Come to Mexico with us!"

1.) the employees will find out on thier own and panic

2.) the shareholders want this big cost cutting move to be made public as soon as possible to raise stock prices

3.) there may be some other business interest, or maybe some final assembly jobs that could possibly be held onto if the State steps in and makes a lucrative enough offer

Awful video though. Watching the hard reality of watching good everyday folks lose their jobs sucks.

This is what high taxes, more regulation rising national minimum wage, and Obamacare does. Lefties should learn a basic hard fact reality .Businesses are in the business of making money not charity.

Its time for a business man to have shot at running the country.

Not surprised to hear big business talking points blaming unions, taxes, "regulation" and other BS.

#1 Reason they are moving is because they can make more money overseas. How is someone in the USA compete with child laborer in mexico working for $2hr/16 hours a day? Sure if we get rid of hard vote labor laws, they would still have a job, but who the hell wants a job like that?

Blame NAFTA/TPP and other trade agreements. Trade is good when its level playing field. It should not be race to the bottom, but that is what you get when the government is owned and run for the benefit of monied interests.
