Clinton: I’ll Make Companies ‘Pay a Price’ for Shipping Jobs Out

CLINTON: "We need to bring back advanced manufacturing to Pennsylvania. How are we going do that? Change the incentives in the tax codes and override the incentives in the tax agreements that ... So, I want to incentivise them and if any company in Pennsylvania ever took a penny in taxpayer dollars in grants or loans or anything that they got from the taxpayers and if they move jobs out overseas, they’re going to have to pay all of that back before they are permitted to leave. We are also going to look at how we create more renewable energy to create jobs and somebody’s going to be the 21st century energy power and it’s going to be somebody. I want it to be us because there will be jobs right here in America. And finally, when I was a senator from New York, I stood up for a lot of workers, particularly union workers who were being disadvantaged by unfair trade around the world and I took after China, took after some of these other countries. I am absolutely committed to making sure that we don’t let those kinds of unfair trade practices cost us jobs anymore. So, I’m going to take a lot of actions that will prevent that kind of exodus of jobs and make those countries and companies pay a price. That’s a way to change their behavior and that’s what I intend to do."
