Caterpillar to move work from Joliet to South Carolina

Caterpillar to move work from Joliet to South Carolina


Step one. Lie and get a tax cut. Step two. Sneak to another state and open up another plant using cheap labor. Step three. Using the cheap workforce you begin shifting more and more production there, leaving the original plant in a state of unproductive activity. Step four. Begin layoffs claiming work slow-down. Step five. Close the plant, state left holding the bag after giving away tax-cuts for a company that had no intention of staying.

It will happen. Governments rely on tax revenue. Tax cuts deprive governments of revenue. Hence, governments cut services that are provided to the people it serves. You know, police, fire, etc, etc, etc. As any cost rises, governments and people make adjustments and do one of two things. Increase funding in critical areas, and cut funding in wasteful ones. Giving tax cuts to companies that have no intention of staying in your state is one of those waste.

Wow! What a douche.

I find these politicians totally unbelievable with the money they suck from us taxpayers as salary, and cry broke. What a douche.

162 games, hell yeah it's going to be a long season. But I can't wait for it to get started.

It's spring training season, and as I type this the Cubs are getting blanked by the Dodgers 5-0 in the 6th. But hey, spring training is for working out the kinks.

Okay. I agree with him on the casino, polluters, and any company that only has an interest in its bottom line and not the health of the people. But dude! You guys need regulation because some of you are just blinded by greed. Let's say we re-instate Glass-Steagall, would you agree with that? Things were fine, everyone was cool. Yet, we had the merchants of greed pour money into our elected representatives pockets, and look what that did to this country.

So come on. Let's push to have Glass-Steagall  re-instated? It beats wasting your hard/easy earned cash on another disaster led by the GOP. They have zero clue on managing finances. After all these years, you of all people should know that.

A blind person saw this coming.

Once again we have a person that failed a basic lesson in "Common Sense". Just like that wealthy couple in California that is milking that state. Naturally FOX will make a big stink out of this just for the simple reason, this is a Black person. The wealthy couple in California, are White. And you didn't hear a peep from FOX.

But enough of facts. This person was just simply greedy. I'm on disability. But if by the grace of God I get a phone call for an interview, and land a job. I know I have to inform Social Security, and my State of my employment. It's as simple as that. She knew this, and that couple in California knew it as well.

Yep. A blind person saw this coming. It isn't love, it's LUST of money that drive people insane.
