Whirlpool: Taking Tax Dollars, Taking Jobs
It can barely get greedier than this: We're in tough economic times, so Whirlpool receives $19 million in taxpayer funds to create jobs. Then it turns around and announces it will shutter its Evansville, Indiana refrigerator plant and displace the 1,100 workers there. Disgusting.
And where, you might ask, will those jobs go? They'll follow so many other lost family-supporting jobs on the NAFTA train to Mexico.

=================================================
Mexico certainly could use these jobs, but these tax dollars were designed to help workers in the U.S., where we have almost 6.4 people looking for work for each job opening.
