      He can flat out tell them that those companies aren’t investing in America.

      They all cry about paying taxes, they move their headquarters to “tax haven” countries as soon as they can. If the local gov’t tries to get them to pay their fair share they will move the entire company and put all their workers out of a job.

      They gleefully pollute the land. They do everything possible to get out of paying workers, or paying benefits.

      They get laws passed so they can fire their workers without reason.

      They hire workers from other countries to replace American workers and pay those workers a tiny fraction of what they pay American workers and make their American workers bend over backwards when the work is sub par.

      Who is investing in America now?

      Investing in America would mean sending each and every exec to jail for life when their inevitable actions are detrimental to America and those who call it their home.

          Republicans are those execs that switch to gov’t, and they aren’t going to jail themselves.
