before he got picked for VP?
If Trump though is singling out one company for threats or award on federal contracts, he's playing a dangerous game.
The correct thing to do is put an across the board tax on those who outsource jobs. Wonder if that would impact any Trump companies?
I mean, aren't markets supposed to take care of this stuff, and don't those markets work best without gov't interference?
Until the details come out regarding exactly the terms of the deal, we won't know for sure if this is a good thing. As you say, States give tax breaks to big employers all the time. If it was just state tax breaks then I don't see why Pence needed Trump at all (unless it was part of the deal for Pence accepting the VP job).
I do know that if Obama or another Dem stepped in to do the same thing, they'd be criticized for "crony capitalism" or government interference.
Free market Republicans are akin to civil rights Democrats... they merely need to keep the issue alive... forever.

Baron post: We all know what really happened here. Obama threatened or bribed an American company to make himself look good. Of course the liberal media won't take notice. At least Sean Hannity is exposing it. Obama should be in jail.

And America.
He makes deals that you can't refuse.
It is smoke and mirrors politics as usual headed by a Mafia front man. Better than an anti-American Marxist scumbag piece of shit.

What does the impact on Trump companies of an "across the board tax on all who outsource jobs" (overseas, I assume you mean) have to do with anything?
If, for example, Trump (or Hillary) took advantage of certain tax deductions, would you criticize them for eliminating those tax deductions once they got in office? If so, why?
depending upon whether they would succumb to his will.
Others freely out source with NO repercussions. What I'm saying is rather than picking specific winners and losers to put the arm on ala Obama, put a specific fine on all companies that outsource jobs to foreign nations. Like Carrier was trying to do. That will impact everyone and deter this behavior.
