Donald Trump Tells Tim Cook He'll Offer Apple 'Very Large Tax Cut' to Make Products in America

I know this. But libertarianism doesn't match with a policy of closed borders. If you value competitiveness, you shouldn't be protectionist. Moreover, if you're a libertarian, you shouldn't care if money is made in China or USA, considering that citizens from both countries could migrate freely.

I am a libertarian and I am for free movement of labor and capital. Even open borders. But that it incompatible with a welfare state because you end up inviting people who just want to benefits. Not sustainable.

Donald Trump wanna suck up to Apple just to see a bigger hit in U.S

"I'll give u a bigger tax cut on the condition you make your products in USA"

And what pray tell how does Apple production in the US lead to HYPER INFLATION or no real growth (unless you're saying the total production will be the same) whether the products are produced here or in China?

Move everything to a higher cost factory. Produce the same amount. Products more expensive. Hyper inflation.

Sorry, I don't get you, bringing back jobs will cause hyper inflation and no growth in production?!

Yes. If production stays about the same, labor costs go up, product prices go up. Same purchasing power. Hyperinflation

Such a bold paranoia, not the first time anyone used that threat as an "end of world" chime. Yes hyper inflation would suck, everyone agrees. But explain the chain of events your suggesting?

Not paranoid. Just stating a possibility.
