Support Trump in keeping jobs in America

| January 12, 2017 2:00 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has a proposed 35 percent tax on businesses that want to leave our country for another, and I believe it is something that we should all wholeheartedly support.

American companies need to have incentive to keep jobs, and business in America. If patriotic sentiment doesn’t work, and the thought of increased profit to the detriment of our workers won’t keep American business here, then we should penalize them.

Opponents of the policy argue that our government shouldn’t be able to interfere with a businesses decision. I say why not? When a company leaves American soil, it is to the detriment of the American worker. While it is a pick-and-choose tax, the only businesses that need to worry about it are the ones who continue to ship jobs offshore. Businesses with American interests at heart have nothing to fear.

So for once I agree with Trump. Let’s hit them with a stick.
