Sarah Palin, the Republican party’s 2008 vice-presidential cax candidate, warned Donald Trump against “crony capitalism” in the wake of Thursday’s deal to use tax incentives to keep 800 jobs at a Carrier Corp. factory in Indianapolis from moving to Mexico.

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent. Meanwhile, the invisible hand that best orchestrates a free people’s free enterprise system gets amputated. Then, special interests creep in and manipulate markets,” she wrote on the Young Conservatives website, posted Friday. “Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.”

President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, who still the governor of Indiana, visited the Carrier factory Thursday after Indiana gave parent United Technologies Corp US:UTX $7 million worth of tax breaks over 10 years to keep the factory open. Several hundred jobs will still be eliminated.

Palin, a former Alaska governor who had campaigned with Trump and has been seen as a possible Cabinet pick, said she was “estatic” for Carrier employees who will keep their jobs. But, she warned, businesses must be able to locate where they wish. “Picking and choosing recipients of corporate welfare” is a hallmark of corruption, she added.

“Cajole only chosen ones on Main St or Wall St and watch lines stretch from Washington to Alaska full of businesses threatening to bail unless taxpayers pony up,” she concluded. “The lines strangle competition and really, really, dispiritingly screw with workers’ lives.”

Can Trump deal to save 1,000 Indiana jobs be replicated?

She called instead for policy changes that would cut regulations and tax rates while boosting growth and investment.

“Gotta’ have faith the Trump team knows all this,” she said. “And I’ll be the first to acknowledge concerns over a deal cut by leveraging taxpayer interests to make a manufacturer stay put are unfounded — once terms are made public.”
