Let's watch. I hope some ok me was as taking notes when Trump was talking. Reality Tv and real life are different matters

I hope and pray that you are right

tom_boy the reality on the ground in the US is very simple. American workers are lazy and totally unproductive.

Economists from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predict that between now and 2019, factory wages in Indonesia will increase by about 48% to $0.74/hour, while wages in the U.S. will increase by just 12% to $42.82/hour.

So despite the fact that factory wages are expected to grow four times faster in Indonesia than in the U.S., Indonesian factory workers will still be making approximately 58 times less than their American counterparts five years from now.

Tell me, would you as a business hire your workers in Indonesia or the US..As patriotic as you are.

Trump says that he will introduce a 35% tax on companies that produce outside the country.

Let me tell you how utterly stupid that idea is.

All computer firms produce their computers outside the country. The iPhone and Macs, Nike, addidas, Fubu, Ford has plants even in Canada, GM in Canada, most car parts are made outside the country for logistical reasons....I mean even T-shirts.

So he gets to pass this new tax in his first 100 days...I promise you it was hot air he won't. Another con game.

These companies are not in the business of swallowing tax expenses in their balance sheets. They will just increase their pricing to reflect the new tax.

So all of a sudden a shoe that cost 10 dollars will now become 13 dollars. And so on and so on.

It won't take long before the same lazy american starts complaining about higher prices and then we have inflation etc....

I mean you just can't cook up the lies from this fellow.

There's reality and then their's Trump. The American economy changed irreversibly in the Clinton era and more in the Bush era. It is not going back to manufacturing.

No one however patriotic is going to give a high school educated lazy person who sees working 6 hours a day as torture $40 an hour. No one. Not even Trump.

As for enticing companies to move to the US?

Two ways

1. Lower taxes
2. Destroy the unions
3. Increase immigration just as the Canadians have done. By the way have you noticed that the sharktank is mainly made of Canadian businessmen and entreprenuers who make it a point to reduce costs by manufacturing outside the country?

Lowering taxes for the rich companies is exactly what these voters say they don't want to hear.

Destroying the unions so that you can get cheaper labor will get anyone removed from gov't in a week.

The only way that the US can win worldwide is to become more efficient or find industries that they beat everyone else at.

Threatening companies just won't work. They'll just increase their prices as there's no CEO who will go to their shareholders with a balance sheet that's down because he loves America.

They created the capitalist economy, they have to lay in the bed they made.

You gotta love the way the markets are cheering the return of Reaganomics plus infrastructure spending. Result a spike in US inflation is coming up. Emerging markets will see US capital going back home with the tax cuts and tax holidays. Muscular dollar on the way
