Google United Technologies and see what and who are the real job killers in this country. The Republicans are always blaming this or that program or law or whatever proposed by Democrats for being a job killer.

I’d say that United Technologies’ decision to take 2,000 middle class jobs in Indiana and move them to Mexico, where they pay only $3 an hour and then ship the products back here selling them for the same as when they paid Americans a living wage is the an prime example of the “real” job killers in this country.

Oh, by the way, they gave their retired CEO a $140 million retirement package and $30 million-a-year pension and now pay their current CEO $14 million a year. And they did a lousy job. All the while they got tax breaks from the state and federal government to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to keep jobs in this country as recently as 2014.

If I were the government, I’d fine them at least this tax break amount as punishment. But you people, just keep voting for the Republicans whose real constituency are the rich and big corporate job killers who will continue to vacuum money and “good” jobs from the middle class who then turn to the only thing left $8.50 an hour employment at Walmart.
