The reason that people and companies locate in South Carolina is that we have a capable, productive work force.

Indeed, this is unprecedented. What we are talking about is an unprecedented expansion of big Government determining where companies can locate their operations and employ citizens.

But more importantly, right here, what we have is an assault on Boeing which kills jobs in South Carolina.

The people of South Carolina are so supportive of creating jobs and creating opportunity for the families of South Carolina.

So we can't really agree on the definition of transfer or assets or tangible or intangible.

if your case is built on the fact that Boeing transferred assets from one location to another location that never existed at the first location, it is really difficult for us to digest that we are actually having a real conversation about…

This needs to be the last time we deal with this.

It's an attack on the employees who appreciate the fact that they have jobs to go to.

If you tell a great American company like Boeing that they cannot create jobs in South Carolina, all you are doing is incentivizing those companies to go overseas.

it is really hard for us to digest the fact that 1,000 employees and a $1 billion investment in the second location has anything to do with not the loss of, but the actual creation of more jobs at the first location.

from a competitive perspective, is it not good to have dual locations perhaps?

It's an attack on our employers in this country that are trying to keep business in America.

Thank you, Congressman. May I ask the Governor just a couple of questions real quick?

When we are talking about the return on investment of the $900 million that South Carolina invested--not gave or spent, but invested--in Boeing, is it unprecedented for us to reserve a return on investment of $14 for every $1 invested.

This is not funny.

So you are fully aware of the fact that employees of the Boeing plant decided to start a union. But yet, even though all your comments were just brought to our attention, you did nothing to stop them from having the exercise of their…

I would like to see the President get out there and talk about when you do things that cause CEOs of businesses to not want to come to States, this hurts union States more than right-to-work States.

I find this hearing to be bitterly disappointing.
