IIRC, Emerson made the Rigid brand of power tools for Homedespot and other box stores.
They also make a lot of motors.

I believe that Ridgid is Ridge tool in Pennsylvania.

When your competition is moving to China and our current government
thinks business is still the cash cow to milk, I'd have similar
views.

I really hate corporate taxes, those get paid by the consumers but
we the consumers don't see how those taxes empty our pockets.

This is a distinction between the Dems and the Republicans. Dems
like taxing corporations so consumers don't see how it affects them.
Republicans don't like taxing corporations since that is where jobs
exist.

Eventually we have to pay for everything but I truly believe, the
Republicans want the guy or gal working for a living to see what
government is costing him. The Dems, the party of government,
doesn't want you to see how the parasitic constituency empties your
pocket.

I think that we should separate the "what" from "why".

Republicans like corporations and "the wealthy" to pay less income
taxes.

I think that you are right by saying so.

The next question is why exactly they do so. Maybe it is because they
like downtrodden people? Or maybe it is accidental? Or, perhaps, maybe
it is because Republicans get donations from those welthy people?

In any case, as you pointed out, eventually we have to pay for
everything.

The big question I ask you Comrade,,,,is the Government supposed to
provide that magic "everything" you keep talking about?

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
