Go back to the 80s when the corporate raiders bankrupted compaines, and our elected officials sold America to the highest bidders. It's all about money and everyone forgot about people trying to make a living. I remember in the 70s when robots came into GM, management said we would now have time to do more meaningful work, like, but they didn't say it would be finding another job. This country has never been the same since the poisoning of Tylonol bottles. Shame on man, for not caring more.

Go back to the 80s-90s and tell me how easy the work was. We have earned every penny we get for our pensions + benefits. I worked in smoke and dust fumes, with machinery from the 40's, spot welders, tools that were not ergonomically design, that crippled people doing their "easy" jobs. The UAW faught for our health and safty, GM never GAVE us anything. I'm a proud member of the UAW since 69', and would not have worked without them. Walk a week in our shoes, then tell me how easy we had it.

Haha.. again the liberals are proven wrong. This video was made in 2008 and once again, government throwing out money to try to prop up free market enterprise does not work. The only losers are the poor tax payers paying the bill. A government run health plan will be the final straw that breaks the back of the worker... and this country. We are broke and the Dems keep trying to borrow or print more money. Ponzi schemes do not work.

@MrWeeman9287 I damn well remember the Ross Perot, Al Gore debate over NAFTA where AL Gore talks about his friend who works at a tire factory in TN but they export because of tariff barriers, blah, blah, blah. The truth of the matter is that the probable factory he was referring to is only 5 miles from a giant Nissan factory to which it was dedicated. The only ones that I am calling dumb are the American people for putting up with a 2 party system that has been corrupted from both sides.

@ajkopy "this is common practice the entice large corporation to bring many jobs and future tax revenue to those states"

The problem is in order to favor these large companies with tax breaks you need to make up the revenue shortfall elsewhere. The increased tax burden on smaller, less favored companies will cost jobs in those businesses. A low tax and regulatory burden is one factor in creating a business friendly environment but it needs to be part of a larger economic policy.

[MrWeeman9287]

@Zyworski  If you're calling the republicans dumb because they gave those companies money, then shouldn't you be upset about the democrats doing an even bigger transaction of the same nature?

If it is true that Tennessee gave 577 M to bring VW to the state, then that means if the plant created 1,154 jobs those jobs cost an average of $500,000 a job. If you spread $500,000 over 10 years then it cost the state of Tennessee $50,000 a year for 10 years to create a job that will pay about $7,000 a year in taxes, and I doubt it even returns that much. My estimated net loss for Tennessee is $43,000 x 1,154 jobs = $49,622,000 per year for 10 years. Republicans want back in the power? LMFAO

The young Turk has his head screwed on backwards,what a dumb ass, this is common practice the entice large corporation to bring many jobs and future tax revenue to those states,The wind fall from doing business like that has always been a win win for those states in the past. And by the way,this is not the same as government bailout costing the tax payers over 50 BILLION DOLLARS to crop up bad business,and to feed the unions pension. Why is Obama in bed with the unions anyway,buying the VOTES ??

@yambag71 I agree and literally these folks working in the "transplant factories" are not unionized, making less money, paying taxes to the federal government and those taxes are being paid to unionized factories in other states in order to keep them afloat, because they cant balance a budget, cause they have ridiculous benefits. its so awesome for the rest of us to have a leech on our taxes for ppl who get to greedy and forget to balance their pocketbooks.
