The letter from Carrier to its employees that Donald Trump doesnt want you to read

In sum, about 800 American jobs are being saved, but another 1,300 are disappearing. Those painful details were acknowledged in a letter Carrier sent to affected workers on Thursday that was posted to Twitter by Indianapolis-based journalist Rafael Sánchez.

Not on the reality of this deal to reward a company with tax breaks.

Republican run States love to use Debt as their Economic Tool. Most States are allowed to Bond up to 95% of their Economic Value(ability to repay debt based on Taxable Base),and they could care less,because all these Bonds will be repaid by increased Property Taxes.

Notice how Minnesota now has a 1.6 Billion surplus,well that is because of a Progressive Taxing Rule. Now,compare that to Wisconsin,which now has a regressive Taxing Rule,Real estate Tax have gone nuts and the State is facing huge short falls. Last heard it was a Billion Plus. Instead of job training and infrastructure updates,a hand full of well connected Business received the like short fall dollars for supporting the GOP candidate slate.

Wisconsin State Education System is in total turmoil,Teachers and Professors are bailing right and left to other States do to loss of Pension and and worker protections. When you lose your best and brightest,your state starts to look like some regressive Southern State.
